Your Hosts: Brandon, Dan, Howard, and Mahtab How do we come up with names? How do we do it in ways that enhance our worldbuilding? What are the elements that give our invented naming schemes (even the zany ones with lots of syllables and apostrophes) verisimilitude? In this episode we talk about some of the tricks we've used, the pitfalls we've avoided, and conlangs in general. Liner Notes: In Episode 12.51 we discuss Conlangs ("constructed languages")with Dirk Elzinga. Credits: This episode was recorded by Dan Thompson, and mastered by Alex Jackson
