Randall Munroe of xkcd: Language chat and weird bee laws.

Episode 898 Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

898. Randall Munroe joined me back in October 2022 to talk about his language-themed xkcd cartoons, his simple-language project Up Goer V, his biggest pet peeve, his favorite words, and his new book "What If? 2." But I have to confess that my favorite part was his tidbits about the bee laws.


Encore Episode: This episode originally aired in October of 2022. This summer, I'm bringing back a few fan favorites on select Saturdays as a bonus for listeners. Summer Saturdays only runs for a few weeks, so enjoy the extra listens while they last!
