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.

Productivity And Panic (Episode 14)

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.
