This podcast is exactly what I needed, and I have no clue how it went under my radar. I'm definitely going to be binging all the episodes while working to supplement my love of conlanging that I've been to busy to do.

I am not an academic linguist but I am what I would describe as a language enthusiast and conlanger. I must say that this is the best podcast on the subject. I have enjoyed learning about linguistic terms and concepts, agreeing with their opinions on language culture and rolling my eyes when I disagree. I also enjoy the story in this show, as it has persisted since 2011. The host grow and change, and you can watch George grow from a wee babby into a father, and grad student. It's a humanizing element. They also have David Peterson on often, and that's generally a treat.

As an extremely new conlanger, this has been an incredibly helpful resource, and it's really fun to listen to - the hosts are awesome! I just wish they were able to put episodes out more often!

I'm really into conlanging, and I find this very enjoyable to listen to, even when I'm not doing anything to do with conlangs or linguistics. Some of the things said in each podcast inspire me to add to my conlangs. I love it It really inspired me to go to college to major in linguistics. I've listened to it since 2011 (when I was in high school) and I still listen to it constantly. I've listened to it when working on photography finals in the darkroom, when studying for my linguistics classes, during my knitting meetings, when I'm driving, and when I'm conlanging! It feels almost like being in a friendly, informal linguistics/conlanging club meeting with a couple friends. Couldn't ask for a better podcast. Thank you!

Conlangery is absolutely my favorite podcast ever - I've been conlanging for years and years and years and every time I listen to these guys not only do I learn something new but I inevitably get one or more great ideas and have to run for a pencil before I forget it. I can even listen multiple times - it always feels fresh and depending on where I am in a language I'll take something different every time. I have listened to the odd episode for a couple of years now but I'm finally going through and listening in order and my gosh, there are a lot. I mean really, mega kudos to George and everyone for holding a podcast together for this long! I'm a little sad that episodes don't come out weekly anymore but it sounds like you all have busy impressive lives so I'm glad you guys still get together from time to time to make good stuff. All the best and keep it up (please)!

I’ve only been aware of this wonderful podcast for a few weeks now, and there aren’t enough hours in the day to listen to it! I’m only on episode 28 but I’m catching up as quickly as I can! I have learned so much and have had so many new ideas, but not enough conlangs of my own to try them out. I’d love to give you my first conlang as an example of what not to do! But since I’m not caught up, Will had already expressed something similar with his own conlang, so I may be out of luck! Anyway, I also want to say how happy I was that you had David J. Peterson on! I hope that you can get other ‘famous’ conlangers as guests as well! We shall see! Keep up the good work! And super belated congrats to Bianca on getting married!

There is no podcast like the Conlangery podcast. I can honestly and without shame say that a sizable percentage of what I know about linguistics came from this podcast. And an even more sizable percentage of what I know about linguistics I had heard before but did not understand until I heard one of their vibrant discussions. The discussions are light enough that a beginner can follow along, yet more than in-depth and entertaining enough to keep the novices engaged. Not only does it fill an important niche, but I honestly could not ask for a better conlanging podcast. I myself am new to the hobby and have not even created a language yet but when I finally finish my first project I'll be sure to send a sketch (they can probably find a place for it in their noob-lang episode which they hinted at in episode #58). I have listened to this podcast for probably about two years now and this 5-star review is long overdue.

Seldom does it come to pass that the ears of mankind should be so fortunate, following the conventions of normal auditory perception, that they should be availed such opportunity, not only enjoying the nourishment of learning and fortification of linguistic constitution, yet finding inasmuch inducement to the production of conlangs which unquestionably have been proven as an invaluable source of bliss and delight. Ushering their adherents toward the aforementioned grammatical euphoria, the masters of the morpheme wield rhetorical tenderness and vigor tarrying ever onward fearing neither the syntax of Basque nor the gates of hell. I shall modestly attempt to recount the excellencies of each host; please forgive any infelicities. There is, of course, George "The Excogigator " Corley, meticulously weaving the most intricate of tapestries from the linguistic fibers freely flowing from the fervid fabulations of hosts and guests alike. Then, if I may modestly suggest the apellation, William "The Ensorcellor " Annis, enchanting conlanging tyros with the siren song of polysynthesis, whose grammatical thew is exceeded only by his derivational wit. To such nonpareil linguistic acumen who could possibly be found a compeer but Mike "The Expugnor" Lentine, vanquishing any and all foes of waffling ambivalence emanating from the perturbation of the unknown. Among the parched desert that is the dearth of resources for conlanging, the Conlangery Podcast is a welcome oasis of perspicacity and merriment sure to enrapture conlangers of any ilk. George, William, and Mike, thanks for making such a great podcast! I just found it about 2 months ago, and I am now current having listened to all 89 episodes plus shorts. I wanted to make sure to listen to every back episode before giving my review so that it could be justified. I was referred to your podcast by the Linguistics Podcast by Linguist Chris, which I'm not sure is being produced now, but anyway I started listening to your podcast just out of linguistic interest with no real interest in conlanging but I have since seen the light and have converted. I'm looking forward to new episodes and submitting my conlang once the grammar has a little more content. I also hope to submit a greeting shortly. Thanks again for taking the time to create a quality, informative podcast that is entertaining as well.

It is good that people are trying to put forth conlanging podcasts to unite people sharing a particularly rare hobby. That should not, however, allow desperation to warp our sense of quality. I can hardly stand to listen to this crawling podcast. It has major pacing problems, and misappropriated energy in the voices of the presenters. Additionally, the presenters frequently veer off topic and when they finally return, I am left with no other useful impression other than how pedantic the presenters can be if not properly lassoed toward some form of format.

This podcast is a great resource for conlangers and people with a general interest in linguistics alike! The hosts are extremely dedicated knowledgeable.

The wealth of knowledge between all the hosts, past, present, and all in between, is phenomenally rich and helpful. I've been conlanging for 15 years but I learn something new with each episode. My languages have grown and progressed beyond anything I thought I could have done and I owe it all to George and his "Conlangerettes". I hope to see this podcast continue for a very long time!

A staunch champion of elegance this podcast is. Conlangery is its name; being awesome is its game. This show combines great informative talk on linguistics and language construction with whimsical banter and an approachable tone. They even make the effort to devote time to feedback—both praise and criticism. The outtakes at the end also never fail to a smile on my face. I once thought conlanging was a lot easier and have since abandoned most of my previous scetches for extreme n00bosity and with my freshman year of university looming I doubt I will have much time for conlanging in the near future, especially as a physics major, but you guys reliably give me my weekly conlanging fix and for that I thank you. By giving some great terminology and new ways of thinking your talks have even made my studies of Japanese easier! Keep up the great work guys! Love, Jacob /ʡʲɯ̃ǁ͡χʼøɧy˞/

I've been teetering on the edge of this geeky habit (conlanging) for years now and these guys pushed me over the edge. Their devotion to producing something substantial every week is remarkable. The show features a long, initial section about some feature of linguistics, followed by a featured constructed language (conlang) and finally some feedback. The three hosts are very different and you get all the angels covered. I highly recommend going all the way back to the beginning and listening to every episode. There is gold in every one (even before they figured out editing and sound quality issues). This stuff is not at a beginning level, since they are all linguists in training. Therefore, if you are unwilling to go read after/during an episode, you will be screwed. However, no one smart enough to be interested in this stuff should have that problem! The rabbit trails are short, the conversation is enlightening and release schedule cannot be beat. This stuff would cost you real money and time in books (which you should get anyway) but it's free on the internet. Subscribe today!

This podcast is an excellent resource not only for people interested in conlanging, but languages and linguistics in general: each episode is full of wonderful information about the immense diversity and marvelous workings of natural languages worldwide, as well as interesting perspectives on constructed languages. The focus here is on artistic languages, such as those found in fantasy and science fiction literature and television (and as an exercise in themselves), but there is some coverage of engineered languages (as well as a little bit on auxiliary languages). Episodes will appeal to listeners of varying levels of linguistic knowledge and conlanging skill, although the discussions are often conducted at a fairly high level. Very experienced conlangers might find episodes that challenge them to fill out their languages (such as the episodes on Kinship Systems and Ideophones), while other episodes cover more basic or general topics. They've given me plenty of ideas to chew on and things to add to my own language sketches. "Conlangery" is one of the few podcasts I've listened to that I've found it worthwhile to go back and listen to the old episodes again. George, Bianca, William, and Mike: Thanks for the first year, and I hope you can give us another at least :)

I'm a total noob when it comes to conlanging and learning languages in general although I have a high interest in such things. After trying to put together my own conlang, I started researching to see how others create theirs. On a whim, I did a search on conlangs on itunes and came up with these guys and I think they are great! Each show is very informative and although I'm not always familiar with the terminology (I have to look up a lot!), I learn a great deal and get a lot of good ideas to incorporate into my own conlangs. They have litterally opened up the world of languages to me and situations I never knew existed. And although the podcast may seem disjointed at times, I really appreciate their off-the-cuff commentary style. It's obvious they know what they are talking about and if not they research it. I think anyone interested in languages in general or conlangs in particular would enjoy their show.

I've been conlanging for seven years now and I always get weird looks when people ask me why I do it. It's about time there's a podcast for people who just get it! Thanks guys and keep up the great work.

In each episode, the three hosts talk about some aspect of language — discourse particles, dialects, sound systems — ostensibly with the intent of giving conlangers (i.e. language creators) tips and ideas to use in their conlangs. However, the information and observations they bring in should be interesting to anyone interested in language, even if they have no interest whatsoever in creating one. Each episode also has a featured conlang. The discussions are unscripted, with George loosely moderating and all three making contributions as the spirit moves them. There are sometimes strange background noises (like a recurring “clac-k-k-k-k-k-k” in one episode), and George’s hesitant speaking style takes a little getting used to, but it’s a fun podcast and I look forward to catching up on the episodes I haven’t listened to yet.

I've learned more about language from the Conlangery podcast than in all my years of schooling. These guys have turned me on to tons of interesting languages and linguistic features. I listen to them at work to pass the time, and I can go on for hours, soaking in all the information.

I'm fairly new at the conlanging hobby, so I don't know much about languages, but this podcast has really helped me. Their discussions of different aspects of language has taught me more than I ever learned in my college linguistics class, and their evaluations of created languages helps to see those aspects put in relation to other aspects. Even if you don't conlang yourself, the segments on the parts of language are informational enough to be quite enjoyable. This is always one of the first podcasts I listen to in a week, and that's not just because they are good at regularly updating on Mondays.
