It is all Words

from Boston Calling Hosted by BBC World Service

As Trump embarks on his first foreign trip, his administration tries to cast ‘America First’ in a different light. Also, helpful definitions of the words ‘autocrat’, ‘fascist’, and ‘demagogue’; why Trump's name sign is causing controversy in the American Sign Language community; a history of the word 'hack' that goes back further than you might expect; what happened to the first people to be called refugees; plus some new music from one of Marco Werman's favourite bands, Forro in the Dark.
