Language shapes all aspects of our lives, including how we connect with our family. Often, the more "insider" that language is, the stronger the family bonds are. Cynthia Gordon, a professor in the linguistics department at Georgetown University and the author of "Making Meanings, Creating Family", joins us to talk about "familect" — a unique dialect particular to each and every family — and why it matters.

Der Mensch ist "das sprachbegabte Tier". Aber können Tiere nicht auch sprechen? Hunde verstehen unsere Kommandos, Papageien artikulieren menschliche Wörter. Außerdem kommuniziert beinahe jedes Lebewesen irgendwie mit seinesgleichen oder sogar anderen Spezies und das teils auf sehr komplexe Art und Weise. Aber: reicht das aus, um von Sprache zu sprechen? Der Pfad zu einer Antwort ist schmal und steinig, doch gemeinsam können wir ihn bestreiten. Was uns am Ende erwartet, wird nicht allen gefallen.Ein Podcast von Anton und Jakob.

First we talk about how we're feeling after a rough stretch of games for the Portland Trail Blazers. Injuries suck, waiting sucks, but watching a team lean into its identity, and watching young players make the most of their unexpected opportunities always warms our hearts. We talk about how Deni Avdija, Jeremi Grant, Duop Reath and Toumani Camara are keeping the team afloat while carefully falling down and quickly getting back up. Then, We Have A Talk about Sidy Cissoko and what a surprisingly hard time getting pretty basic information about his journey to the NBA.

This week on G3 Weekly, Scott Aniol covers five major news stories and examines them in light of Scripture:1. Maine Court Bans Mom from Taking Daughter to Church (00:20)A shocking parental-rights case in Maine, where a court barred a mother from taking her daughter to church or reading the Bible during visitation. What does Scripture say about parental authority, the jurisdiction of the state, and obeying God rather than men?2. Kirk Cameron Promotes Annihilationism (03:52)There is a growing controversy surrounding Kirk Cameron's public endorsement of annihilationism. Why are Christian leaders responding so strongly, and what does Scripture actually teach about hell, judgment, and the justice of God?3. AI Used to Translate Bible for 3,300 Languages (08:29)A development promising speed but raising serious questions about precision, missions, and the incarnational nature of gospel ministry4. Jonathan Roumie Claims Atheists Converting via The Chosen (11:07)The viral comments from Jonathan Roumie (The Chosen) and the renewed debate about whether dramatizations of Jesus can rightly function in evangelism—and how they challenge the sufficiency of Scripture and the historic understanding of the Second Commandment.5. Erika Kirk's Jewelry and the Armor of God (13:29)A widely shared interview between Megyn Kelly and Erika Kirk, where religious jewelry was treated as a form of spiritual protection. What does Scripture say about the armor of God, true spiritual warfare, and the danger of placing hope in objects rather than in Christ?For more helpful resources, visit G3+ at plus.g3min.org.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosted "Comparative Civics: Beyond Western Civ" with Dongxian Jiang, Shadi Bartsch, Simon Sihang Luo, and Peter Levine on December 10, 2025, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT. There is broad agreement that effective citizenship requires a firm understanding of the history and principles of the American constitutional system. But what about the insights, lessons, and perspectives that can be drawn from foreign contexts? How might the study of other societies–including those with autocratic systems or markedly different cultural traditions–enhance one's preparation for effective American citizenship? This webinar explores what global perspectives can teach us about citizenship and democracy at home. Panelists: Dongxian Jiang: Assistant Professor of Chinese Studies, Department of Languages and Cultures, Fordham University. Shadi Bartsch: Helen A Regenstein Professor of Classics; Director Emerita, Institute on the Formation of Knowledge, University of Chicago Simon Sihang Luo: Nanyang Assistant Professor, Public Policy and Global Affairs Programme, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

Are Cluster Headaches The Worst Pain A Human Can Experience? Cluster headaches are rare but devastating for the people who experience them. These attacks can strike repeatedly in a single day and may go undiagnosed for years. Specialists say greater awareness, research, and individualized treatment are urgently needed to help those living with this invisible, and often debilitating, condition. Why Kids With Autism May Want To Learn Multiple Languages During Celia Romero's research on kids with autism, she uncovered a widespread misconception: many families had been advised to avoid teaching their child a second language. That guidance wasn't backed by science. In fact, new research suggests that multilingualism may actually support executive functioning and social skills in kids on the spectrum.

All around the world, Indigenous women are fighting to save their language from systemic extinction. We look into a few examples in this classic episode.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, I speak with author and practicing magician Toby Chappell, about his new book -- The Languages of Magic: Transform Reality through Words, Magical Symbols, and Sigils. This amazing book breaks down the understand that magic isn't a mystery locked behind ritual, it's a form of communication. It's a living conversation between the practitioner and the unmanifest, where meaning becomes the engine of transformation and reality itself becomes a responsive partner.Toby brings together linguistics, semiotics, and decades of magical experience to reveal how words and symbols don't just represent ideas, they move energy. They rewire perception. They speak directly to the structures behind the world we see. Our conversation moves through the various ancient and the modalities of magic and how their language structure effects the results of the practice... Toby explains how this communicative view of magic appears in Hermeticism and the Greek magical papyri, in Enochian language-work, in rune lore, and in the symbol-crafting at the heart of sigil magic. What emerges is a powerful new lens -- that magic works because it is meaning in motion; an ongoing exchange between the magician and the fabric of reality itself. Toby talks about how to apply principles of effective communication to your own workings, how symbols are constructed and empowered, and how understanding the linguistic structure of magic can dramatically increase the reliability and precision of your results.It's a rich, mind-expanding conversation with one of the most articulate voices working at the crossroads of language and occult practice today... An incredible journey wondered why magic works - not philosophically, but mechanically - and how to communicate more clearly with the forces that shape your life… Drop In!www.semiurgist.comToby Chappell Bio:Toby Chappell is a musician, writer, and lecturer on the intersection of language and magic. An Author, independent researcher, and practicing magician; his interests include runes, semiotics, weird tales, and the mysteries of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. He currently lives in Athens, Georgia. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this enlightening conversation with Lena Morgan, author of Fight Languages: Turn Conflict into Connection, listeners will discover a groundbreaking way to understand and navigate conflict—whether at home, at work, or within themselves. Lena breaks down her powerful framework of the Five Fight Languages—Amplifier, Analyzer, Extinguisher, Igniter, and Negotiator—and explains why people clash, misunderstand each other, or shut down during emotionally charged moments. She reveals how identifying your own conflict style (and the style of those around you) creates instant empathy, clearer communication, and more meaningful connection. Listeners will learn: -Why conflict isn't something to avoid, but a doorway to deeper understanding -How to identify your primary and secondary fight languages and how they show up under stress -Why most of us fight different at home vs work—and why that matters -Somatic and practical tools to interrupt heated reactions and shift toward calm, productive dialogue -How to handle internal conflict, the “gremlin voice,” and self-critical patterns -The importance of repair, and why the moments after a fight can build the strongest trust -A new way to see conflict not as chaos—but as valuable information about what matters most This episode gives listeners actionable tools to turn arguments into understanding, create safer communication, and build relationships that can withstand stress, emotion, and misunderstanding.

Jasbeer Mamalipurath's TEDified Islam: Postsecular Storytelling in New Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) is the first of its kind in-depth examination of the TedTalk phenomenon and in particular how Islam and Muslim experiences are represented in these talks. Mamalipurath argues that TED Talks on Islam are part of a larger postsecular (the secular's renewed interest in faith) discourse. The book examines the perspectives of Muslim and non-Muslim TED viewers about TED's storytelling strategies. Finally, the book studies aspects of the authority that both Muslim and non-Muslim TED speakers represent and embody as ‘spokespersons of Islam.' By doing so, this book offers an empirical and context-oriented understanding of postsecular storytelling by problematizing secular translations of Islam that are part of this TED talk universe. Themes the book explores include the nature of storytelling in a postsecular media environment, insider and outsider dynamics in how Islam is constructed and represented in digital media, the impacts of the 20th and 21st century media environment on how Islam and Muslim lives are translated for primarily non-Muslim audiences, the influence of Jewish and Christian frameworks on how stories of Islam get told, and the role of religion as faith in secular storytelling today. Listeners will certainly never look at TedTalks the same way after learning about the strategies, stories, and consequences of TEDified Islam from Mamalipurath's research. Dr. Jasbeer Mamalipurath is a lecturer in media and broadcast studies at the School of Arts, English and Languages, Queen's University Belfast (UK). His research sits at the intersection of media, society, and culture. Dr. Jaclyn Michael is Associate Professor of Religion at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (USA). She is the author of several articles on Muslim cultural representation, performance, and religious belonging in India and in the United States. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
Hey Friends~ Recently, I got a written message from a listener who wrote, ‘My husband is Serbian and speaks Serbian to our son. I speak English, but I don't speak Serbian well. Our little one is just 17 months and very vocal — but in my expat group, parents worry their bilingual kids might be confused. How young is too young for two languages? And how old is too old for 2 languages?” It's such a good question — and one that so many families wonder about. In this episode, we'll look at how babies process two languages, the benefits, milestones, red flags, and what you can do - all geared for the multilingual home. If you would like to send your question, you can email me at hello@thelanguageofplay.com or Leave a voice message here: https://castfeedback.com/play . I may just highlight your question on the show!

Just thinking about itching can make you start to scratch — but there's a reason for that. Scratching triggers a powerful neurological loop called the itch-scratch cycle, which can actually make the problem worse. Listen as I explain what's really happening in your brain and skin when that irresistible urge strikes to scratch that itch. https://www.news-medical.net/health/Scratching-the-Surface-Uncovering-the-Neurological-Mystery-of-Itch.aspx? We all speak secret languages — whether we realize it or not. Families, professions, and social groups develop their own slang, codes, and private phrases that only make sense to insiders. From kitchen slang in restaurants and bars to cryptic police radio chatter, these hidden languages are everywhere. My guest Ben Schott, author of Schott's Significa: A Miscellany of Secret Languages (https://amzn.to/3LdTmqg), uncovers where these coded words come from, how they evolve, and what they reveal about belonging and identity. The changing seasons bring obvious signs — leaves turning, snow falling, flowers blooming — but nature also changes in ways most of us never notice. The color of sunsets, the murkiness of rivers, even the speed at which days lengthen or shorten all follow astonishing seasonal patterns. Tristan Gooley, author of The Hidden Seasons: A Calendar of Nature's Clues (https://amzn.to/4ohNNpu), takes us on a fascinating journey through these overlooked natural shifts and shows how to read the signs of the changing world around us. Finally, the humble banana — praised by some as a perfect health food and shunned by others for its sugar and carbs — gets a scientific verdict. I'll share what nutrition research really says about bananas and whether you should eat more of them… or less. https://time.com/4017962/banana-nutrition/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!
