Listened to this on my morning walk while the stars were still out. Magic!! Love this. I know you are knee deep in academic texts, but by pure synchronicity (the Police 😂) I picked up this book on lark in the airport bookstore and it’s all about linguists and magic and the British Empire. William Jones is even referenced! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/57945316-babel

Thank you so much for putting Babel on my radar. Just bought it! Really looking forward to reading it. Can't believe how prolific RF Kuang is. 19 books! I should be busier. So nice to think Finding Manuland is being listened to in such environments. The power of podcasting!

I also wanted to say your voice is very good for podcasting. Now I must catch up on the other two you did!
