Send us your questions for the Q&A!
Added 2018-11-14 23:40:30 +0000 UTCJust a quick reminder that we're taking advantage of both being in the same place at the same time to record a special bonus Q&A episode for patrons!
Normally, we ask $10+ patrons for bonus topic ideas, but here we're opening up the floor to all patrons for your shorter linguistics questions!
Let us know in the comments below, using Patreon's direct message feature in the sidebar, or by emailing contact@lingthusiasm.com before November 15th so we get them in time to record.
It was great to meet several of you at our Sydney liveshow and we're looking forward to the Melbourne one tomorrow!

Thanks for listening and for your question! We did mention a few language games in this previous bonus episode about language play -- today's your lucky day! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-6-language-13734871">https://www.patreon.com/posts/bonus-6-language-13734871</a>

2018-11-15 04:53:36 +0000 UTCIt's nearly holiday time, and I'm always in search of fun linguistics-based games to gift to/play with my unsuspecting friends. I recently discovered Dialect, which is a game about language change and death, and I'm already familiar with You've Been Sentenced, a hilarious game of (morpho)syntax/inflection. There's also "What do you meme?" which is like Apples-to-Apples only with memes. A lot of games seem to have language play as their basis, but I'm wondering if there are any others that are more explicitly about linguistics. I'd love to know what others exist in English and other languages. Thanks for a wonderful podcast--I just can't get enough!
