Future Tongues
It has a life of its own, our propensity to talk: always evolving, pivoting in unexpected directions. The sentence that rolled off your tongue or departed your fingertips just a second ago — along with its tone, word choice, its construction — has something especially interesting to say about our world today and years from now. Join Aaron as he tries to better understand the marvel that is language!

The Correctness of our Words (Kiezdeutsch pt. 1)
•
Episode 1
There's a way of speaking German that's existed for barely a few decades, but has caused quite the stir in the German public with debates over what it really should be considered. Linguistics has offered the answer: it's Kiezdeutsch, a fully systematic multiethnolect complete with grammatical rules and a unique lexicon. In this episode, join Aaron as he discusses how he learned about Kiezdeutsch, our understanding of right and wrong in terms of language, and why he thinks Kiezdeutsch is a particularly insightful topic that requires further investigation.
