20,000 Hertz, No Ads

Sci-fi and fantasy creators often use constructed languages (or conlangs) to help us believe that the characters come from ancient times or distant galaxies. But what happens when a fictional language jumps off the screen and into the real world? This story comes from the Imaginary Worlds podcast.

Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound and hosted by Dallas Taylor.
