On the episode they explain the relationship between language and gesture, the
benefits of gesturing while talking, and they also briefly describe some research that has
been conducted. The hosts inform the audience in a relaxed way, using vocabulary that
is easy to understand and simple grammatical structures. They also employ illustrative
examples to explain some concepts, making them easy to comprehend. It is worth
mentioning that Lauren Gawne has focused her research on gesture, so she knows first-
hand what she is talking about. She even tells a couple of anecdotes based on her
personal experience doing research on this field. If you want to go deep into this topic,
they provide links to interesting papers and websites that can be profitable. To make
things even easier for non-native speakers, there is also a transcript of the conversation.
