Episode notes

It was a very complacent age, as you said, full of hubris. Jack the Ripper gave birth to the 20th century because it woke the society up. Titanic was two years before the First World War started. It was also one year, in fact, before income tax and the Federal Reserve were introduced. And that sort of leads us into that sort of second half of the last century, which was all about questioning what it's all about. You know, mainstream news resembles a kind of comedy show, like a bad comedy show.

Antony is an English teacher, podcaster, life-coach and writer and he returns to LEP today for a conversation about topics which he has discussed in episodes of his podcast called "Life & Life Only". Listen to us chat about why cats are good for your health 🐱, what the Titanic disaster tells us about social class 🚢, how losing his backpack while travelling taught Antony a valuable life lesson 🎒, how psychology is involved in English teaching 🧠 and more.
