Across the West, there's a contentious debate playing out over how to adapt homes and neighborhoods to this era of increasingly extreme wildfire risk. In Berkeley, California, it's become a particularly emotional fight because of a very specific architectural history that began all the way back in the 1890s.

In 1998, the recording industry was thriving. But the company pressing more compact discs than anyone else in America wasn't a record label…it was an internet company: America Online. It’s not an overstatement to say that it’s the campaign that introduced America to the internet. Because of how well it worked, for a while the internet was AOL. And then… it felt like AOL just disappeared. So what happened? Alex Goldman (@hyperfixedpod, Reply All) finds out.

Still life with my latest episode of @99percentinvisible! You read about the odd endurance of the 19th century made-up language of Esperanto in Harper’s — now hear about it on the best podcast! More history! Tape of me fumbling through Duolingo lessons! Brief audio from the Vatican’s thrice-weekly Esperanto broadcasts! A recording of the (mostly) canorous sounds of the Esperanto choir, which I joined last year at the 110th annual World Esperanto Congress in the Czech Republic! I loved writing this story for @harpersmagazine, and it was such a joy to be able to go back and revisit the interviews I gathered at the gathering, and to talk with some new folks about the language, too. Plus, did you know that Roman learned Esperanto in grade school?? Take a listen at the link in my bio. And read the original story there, too!

Thank you thank you thank you, as always, to the stellar team at 99pi for making this such a fun story to work on, and to share with you all. It’s always such a dream to work with this show. Thank you to everyone who spoke with me before, during, and after the Congress. And an enormous thank you to Harper’s, and to the folks who run NYU’s Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award, who supported this story. (That grant is open to audio producers now... lookin’ at all of you!)

Esperanto is what linguists call a “constructed language.” It isn’t attached to a nation or a region, and it didn’t evolve from another language over time. Instead, nearly 150 years ago, someone decided to sit down and design the whole thing from scratch.

In 1932, the Women's House of Detention – New York City's first women's prison – opened in the heart of Greenwich Village. The building had one unique feature originally meant to be a sort of kindness – a special kind of window that the women inside could open.
