"Baguettes and Cheese on a Bicycle" with Taylor Jones

Dr. Taylor Jones of the popular YouTube channel  ⁨@languagejones⁩  joins Dr. Higgins to nerd out over pronouns, Black American English, and politeness in Persian. They sing the praises of the scientific method and critical thinking, then lament thought-terminating clichés. They talk about the social stigma attached to some accents, get passionate about immigration, and warn against gossip--yet they can't define what a language is, or a dialect, or even a word--but they do reflect upon Kabbalah, string theory, and whether the universe is fundamentally made up of music, so that's exciting!
