Joined by guest host Lizzie Wade (33:51), contributing correspondent for Science magazine, Adam and Lizzie engage in a conversation about the significance of native languages when writing their history, the aftermath of living through a catastrophe, and blaming the British Empire for climate change concerns.

First, Adam and Lizzie dig a bit deeper in the discovery of a new, old language, in Turkiye, and how it's discovery, and words like “rizz”, give context to the history of an almost forgotten people (02:24).

Then, they contemplate blaming climate change on the British, but instead discuss colonialism, and its track record of impeding the development of smaller nations through resource exploitation (49:06).

Tune in now and enjoy the type of conversations you wish you had around the workplace water cooler!
