About this episode

The episode explores a shared set of words that could help people communicate across borders through a discussion on universal language systems.

Send us Fan Mail We're had a rough week so in lieu of a new episode, here is an episode of theUnscrew It Up Podcast, where Josh and Amanda try to solve a big problem with a tiny tool: a shared set of words that could help people communicate across borders. We pitch two competing “universal language” systems, test them out loud, and realize how fast meaning breaks when context disappears.
