The podcast episode discusses a new show called Defiance, which is both a television show and a massively multiplayer online game. The show is set in a future where humans and aliens coexist and it revolves around the city of St. Louis. The game is set in the Bay Area. The podcast host, David J. Peterson, is responsible for creating the languages for the different alien species featured in the show and game, including developing writing systems. The goal is to have the show and game interact with each other and to have actions in one affect the other. David also provides input on the cultural aspects of the aliens in the show. Overall, it is an ambitious project that combines television, gaming, and constructed languages.
