In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Matt Traxler discuss the interdisciplinary field of language science. Dr. Traxler explores significant experiments in the study of language and cognition, both failed and successful, as well as the limitations of our understanding of language formation and how language science can help us find new appreciation for our humanity.

Check out our blog on www.candidgoatproductions.com Who thinks that they can subdue Leviathan? Strength resides in its neck; dismay goes before it. When it rises up, the mighty are terrified. Nothing on earth is its equal. It is without fear. It looks down on all who are haughty; it is king over all who are proud. 

These words inspired PJ Wehry to create Chasing Leviathan. Chasing Leviathan was born out of two ideals: that truth is worth pursuing but will never be subjugated, and the discipline of listening is one of the most important habits anyone can develop. 

Every episode is a dialogue, a journey into the depths of a meaningful question explored through the lens of personal experience or professional expertise.
