Episode 59: Language

The Manic Episodes

Mary and Wyatt snuggle up for a fascinating conversation about language. Wyatt discusses ideas about how language reflects and shapes reality, and how our political beliefs influence our attitudes toward language. They get into the nitty gritty of nerdy language stuff like linguistic relativity and communicative competence… but in a fun way! Also on the agenda: Mary and Wyatt try a bunch of disgusting, random junk for items, and read poems by Lyd Havens and Richard Blanco.
