Kings of the New Age

Here to Stay

Welcome to Drunk on Language! 

Here in this space, we get some alcohol and a book, usually, and talk about language.  In this episode, we unpack and analyze the book Polyglot (1970) by Dr. Kató Lomb, and take some tips from one of the 20th century's most accomplished interpreters.  In the book, she reveals her personal strategies that helped her master 16 languages.

Your host today is Professor H. The squirrels that robbed me this morning left the beer, but took the last 4 letters of my name.  A search party has been sent out.

Episode 1: In which your host, full of beer and chocolate, reads a decades-old linguistics book, in a sweaty room in the Balkans with the AC cranked up

Thank you to my inspirations, including: Drunk History, Paulaner Munchner Hell, Cheleando con Mextalki, and the Game of Thrones Abridged podcast.

''Polyglot'' by Kató Lomb: A Shrewd Analysis, Chapters 1-4 (Episode 1/egy, Drunk on Language)

A totally sober, shrewd, surgical look at a linguistic book, Polyglot: How I learn Languages (1970) by Kató Lomb.  In this episode, we look at confidence, dictionaries, the intersection of fences and asses, as well as men's vs women's language.  

Your host today is Professor H**r*.. The squirrels remain at large, but the letter R was found abandoned in a storm drain.

Episode 3: In which your host, full of Mike's Hard and industrial chocolate, reads a book written by someone way smarter than him.

Welcome to, Welcome to Night Vale

Perhaps no made-up language has generated as much interest in the 21st century as Valyrian and Dothraki, from the Ice and Fire series of books by American author George R.R. Martin.    Valyrian languages are the topic of this episode, the Season 1 finale of Drunk on Language.

Game of Thrones brought Dothraki to life through Jason Mamoa's performance, becoming unforgettable.   House of the Dragon Season 1 did much the same for High Valyrian, with Matt Smith and Milly Alcock putting their all into the dragonlord tongue.

House of the Dragon Season 2 will drop soon, and herein we take a look at what all those dragonlords are saying.  Valyrian is quite comparable to Latin, and that's an intentional decision by George.  Learn more about why on this podcast.
