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

''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.  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.
