Hello everyone!
As some of you know, I teach Spanish at the university level and am a linguist by training, so I receive daily emails from linguistlist.org with information about books, upcoming conferences, job openings, etc. Today's email included the link I'm about to paste about a podcast dealing with bi/multilingualism:
Here's the description:
There's a new podcast about languages, bi/multilingualism, and culture and identity on the block!
At Much Language Such Talk (MLST), we talk about bi- and multilingualism and what it means to speak more than one language. We explore the benefits, the advantages, the struggles of bilingualism, what it entails, and what it means in the daily life of people who speak, know, and study more than one language.
We address topics such as language change, how we learn languages at different ages, bilingualism and language disorders, language identity and culture, minority languages, language policies, language education – you name it!
On each episode, we will speak to bi/multilinguals, parents or teachers, researchers or experts in their respective fields, to learn more about language learning and all the fun being bi/multilingual brings! We are always open for suggestions of people to talk to and topics to talk about, so let us know if you have an idea for a topic or topics, you would like to learn more about.
MLST is hosted by PhD students, studying different areas of bi/multilingualism, from the University of Edinburgh who also volunteer with Bilingualism Matters, an international research and information centre promoting bilingualism and language learning to aid people to make informed decisions based on scientific evidence.

Therefore...I thought I'd share it with you all. 
I clicked on the 'episodes' tab, and the first one I found was about bilingualism and language disorders, and I know we've had several posts about this topic, so hopefully this information (and the podcast in general) will be useful for all.
