In this episode, we chat with Jonathan about the practice of conlanging in general, including how taking different approaches can be helpful!

LangTime Chat, Episode 60: Call for Conlang Review Volunteers and Some Informal Chatting
I struggled with what to title this episode… but that’s what it is. We start with David putting out a call for volunteers to be a part of our new conlang review series, which will have varying formats, depending on what you (as a volunteer) would like to get out of the experience. Then we continue the episode with a very informal chat about our recent experiences on a work project (all under NDA, so the chatting is very informal, vague, and, at times, nebulous). This episode marks the wrapping up of our first five years of LangTime Chat! We look forward to what the sixth year brings!
