Episode notes

I was born in Swindon, which I imagine listeners might not be aware of. It's kind of town that is always a bit of, it's kind of butt of jokes about being a kind of boring, nothing going on there. And then it's very much like Slough, isn't it, Swindon? And they're quite close to each other. They're sort of next door to each other, aren't they? Oh, maybe. I'll wait and see how people, what people think. And perhaps there might be a series too. Yeah, it's been super fun to work on. Of course, it's given me an excuse to collaborate with people

Is that a confusing title? Hopefully not. As you might expect, it's a little summary of what's included in the episode. To give you some more details, Alastair Budge is the host of a podcast called "English Learning for Curious Minds" and he has created a new audio drama for English learners called "Pioneers of the Continuum". It's a time-travel adventure for English learners, and Alastair asked me to be the narrator for episode 1. In this episode of LEP, we talk about Alastair's story, living in Malta, learning English by immersion, cliches and complaints from English speakers visiting Paris and Alastair's story about playing the bagpipes on the streets of Paris. The audio version includes 30+mins of rambling from me at the end. Enjoy!
