[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_J._Peterson][David J. Peterson]] gets interviewed. He invents artificial languages for fun and profit. It was his work that brought the [[http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/Dothraki_(language)][Dothraki language]] and the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valyrian_languages][Valyrian language]] to life for the TV show [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_of_Thrones][Game of Thrones]]. Besides the references to the TV show, this episode is very interesting and I've learned many things. Most of them are things I never was aware of they exist in context of written and spoken languages. As for so many episodes by Omega Tau: my recommendation!
