Randall Munroe of xkcd: Language chat and weird bee laws.

898. Randall Munroe joined me back in October 2022 to talk about his language-themed xkcd cartoons, his simple-language project Up Goer V, his biggest pet peeve, his favorite words, and his new book "What If? 2." But I have to confess that my favorite part was his tidbits about the bee laws.Encore Episode: This episode originally aired in October of 2022.
