An episode of jan Misali's Conlang Critic series reviewing Toki Pona, a minimalist constructed language with about a hundred words. It is a short, humorous critique of the language's design.
Commenters recommend the whole series as an entertaining survey of constructed languages, and this episode when Toki Pona or Lojban comes up.
