Last was "The Language Game" by Morten Christiansen and Nick Chater.

Highly recommend

“Meaning from Matching: How Representational Mechanisms Exploit Structural Similarity”
• Presents the Correspondence Network Framework (multi-channel structural similarity)
• Recasts RSA as detecting correspondence networks
• Explains why neural spaces form taxonomic clusters
• Counters anti-representationalist critiques & gives new heuristics for experiments

This episode with Joscha Bach was really impressive.
This is one of the very few episodes I did not listen to with double speed - so much content and brilliant thoughts.
