You speak more Latin than you think. Not only are the many French words in English derived from Latin, but almost 30% of our vocabulary comes directly from the language of the Romans. In this episode, Rob and Jess explore how those words got there, what they literally mean, and whether we are using them correctly.

Saturn is Much More than a Planet

27 Aug 2026
The Sun is more than 99% of the mass of the solar system. The sun is the center of the solar system. The Sun without the /rest/ of the solar system would be extremely boring.

By far the most interesting thing about the sun is that it is part of a system of worlds, and this has become pretty obviously true to me about Saturn, Jupiter, and to some extent Uranus and Neptune.

If we skip the worlds that orbit these giants, we are missing the most interesting part of the story.

The Saturn Moon shirt, designed by Casey Uhelski is here: https://store.dftba.com/products/hank…

And ALSO the team at DFTBA asked if we could clear out some excess inventory we had been holding for customer support reasons, so a bunch of shirts are available at significant discounts for just a little while!!
