The History of English with English with Stephen ✌️ #261
*Fixed!* - The words "with" and "English" are used quite a lot in that episode title, aren't they? Never mind, as today is the FIRST interesting podcast in the history of RnR English. We talk about actual interesting stuff (in an RnR way of course) and although we don't cover the whole history of the English language, we definitely cover a few bits (I say "we"... I obviously didn't add much to this conversation, but luckily we had Stephen to help us with it!). Get on your headphones, get comfy and just keeeeeep on ROCKin', baby! 👊
