This is my favourite podcast by far
The three co-hosts — two linguists, Daniel and Hedvig, and the far-from-everyman teacher, Ben — play off each other wonderfully, full of humor, self-deprecation and wild tangents. Through it all, you learn a lot about linguistics and how people communicate. They are on just about every possibly social media and pay attention to all of them. I mostly interact on their discord channel, and it’s great to be able to ask questions, answer questions (!), or just have a random discussion. The combination of the humour and learning works wonderfully and has helped to keep me sane.
