Evaluating AI World Models w/ Keyon Vafa

July 03, 2026 6:54pm 55 min

Keyon Vafa (postdoc at Harvard) studies the implicit world models that generative models learn (or at least are constrained into representing). How do we make sense of these models and how do they make sense of us? Exper...

Literary Studies and Liberalism with Amanda Anderson

June 09, 2026 4:00pm 1:00

Across Amanda Anderson’s scholarship, she notes a mutually beneficial and complex relationship between the aesthetic and the political. There’s a “political potency” to art that arises, one might guess, from the fact tha...

Sean Carroll on Theoretical Physics and Interdisciplinarity

March 20, 2026 11:33am 1:11

Ultimately, this episode is about science and scholarship. As Sean says,  “understanding something as well as you can in science means that you need to confront the data and be pushed out of your comfort zone.” I find it...

Data Science and Machine Translation w/ John DeNero

January 20, 2026 8:55pm 47 min

We've been told time and time again that we need to understand data in context: it's an ethical imperative. Not every language gets an LLM; not every population fully understands a technology that's deployed in their com...

Listening, Semiotics, and So Much More w/ Michael Berman

November 29, 2025 10:34pm 1:14

In language-centric fields we privilege the speaker. Linguistics looks at spoken or signed utterances; linguistic anthropology does as well. But Michael Berman looks at listening, which for him is a process wherein you l...

The Modern Dictionary w/ Stefan Fatsis

October 11, 2025 5:50pm 59 min

We’re in a paradoxical time for dictionaries, claims Stefan Fatsis. On the one hand, we’re bombarded by words and ways to understand them in this lexically intense, linguistically charged political and cultural moment. O...

Language Ideologies w/ Savithry Namboodiripad

July 26, 2025 1:06pm 58 min

“And that’s what ideologies are: the air that you’re breathing, something that feels like it’s common sense.” From start to finish, this episode is about ideologies: their consequences, their makeup, and the struggle to ...

The AI Con w/ Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna

May 19, 2025 1:27am 1:06

The AI Con may as well be the answer to the question: what happens when a linguist and a sociologist come together to write a book? Co-written by Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna, The AI Con isn’t just a book, it’s an inst...

Philosophy of Language w/ Justin Khoo

April 01, 2025 4:26pm 1:21

Justin Khoo, an associate professor of Philosophy at MIT, begins this episode with the assertion that philosophy asks the most fundamental questions we can possibly articulate—but this assertion is not innocent. Asking t...

March 09, 2025 11:31pm 37 min

Throughout this episode, Chiara Repetti-Ludlow, a postdoctoral research fellow at Carnegie Mellon's Neuroscience Institute, asks us to consider the essentials of speech processing and its constraints. We hear phonetics, ...

Education, Anthropology, and Schoolishness with Susan Blum

February 02, 2025 12:56pm 45 min

In early 2023, Susan Blum came on Tomayto Tomahto to discuss linguistic anthropology. 2 years later, she's back to discuss her work on schoolishness, ungrading, and linguistic ideology. From plagiarism to authentic learn...

Communicating Climate Science w/ Josh Willis (NASA)

December 19, 2024 1:03am 41 min

A defining quirk of fields like English, Linguistics, Comparative Literature, etc is that the the objects of study mirror the medium through which the objects of study are explicated. Literary scholars produce literature...

A Raciolinguistic Perspective with Jonathan Rosa

October 14, 2024 11:45am 1:15

"What frame allows you to take seriously the consequence of ideological overdetermination without conceding that it has a reality or a natural position?” This is one of many questions that Jonathan Rosa poses throughout ...

Language and Law w/ Alex Walker: Part 2: Optimality Theory and the Tapestry of Law

June 29, 2024 12:27am 44 min

While legal academia is no stranger to questions of linguistics, it has been estranged (until now) from the practice of adopting linguistic theory and methods. In Part 2 of our conversation, Alex Walker and I discuss the...

Language and Law w/ Alex Walker: Part 1: Dialectal Due Process

June 21, 2024 2:36pm 41 min

Legal academia is no stranger to questions of linguistics. After all, law is, in some sense, a linguistic construction. But our entire legal system interfaces with language far more than we might think. For a long time, ...

Words, Words, Words w/ Ben Zimmer

April 29, 2024 11:48pm 58 min

Ben Zimmer, a language columnist for the Wall Street Journal, is a self-described "linguist, lexicographer, and all-around word nut," but I think this episode proves him to be a paragon of linguistic curiosity. He's comm...

Sociolinguistic Labor and Linguistic Oppression w/ Dr. Kelly Elizabeth Wright

March 31, 2024 5:11pm 54 min

People often talk about language as "a window" into many things. Language can teach us about the mind, the brain, history, etc. But language is also a medium for discrimination, ridicule, oppression, unequal labor, and v...

Stochastic Parrots and the Information Ecosystem with Emily M. Bender

February 25, 2024 3:26pm 52 min

There’s a lot that I can say about Emily M. Bender, but I think that a philosophy professor of mine said it best when he described her as the “cutting edge of technology and AI and linguistics and ethics.” Obviously some...

Historical Linguistics with Brian Joseph

February 13, 2024 1:35pm 38 min

To study language is to study something uniquely human. To study language throughout time and history is to study the evolution of something uniquely human, to determine the variables and constants which shape human exis...

Live from NYC: Favorite Linguistics Facts

January 22, 2024 7:33pm 42 min

Picture this: it's early January, 2024, and hundreds upon hundreds of linguists have gathered for the Linguistic Society of America (LSA)'s annual meeting in New York City. With so many language nerds in one place, I cou...
