This week we're talking about all the ways humans express themselves including a stories about a recent find that may be the world's most ancient, and how the things we use to read affect our comprehension. The highlight is a conversation with David J. Peterson, and language creator that has helped build the languages that made the world your favorite shows and movies inhabit feel richer and more vibrant. The list of projects he's worked on is too long to list completely, but some of the highlights include the 2021 remake of Dune, Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon, HBO's Game of Thrones, Freeform's Motherland: Fort Salem, SyFy's Defiance, and many many many more.
