Episode 372 - Dungeons and Dragons with Michael the Shaman

It was a huge honour to feature a really cool guest in this episode - Michael the Shaman - who had previously appeared in episode 718 of Luke's English Podcast, which happens to be in my top 5 Luke's English Podcast episodes. 

We briefly talked about what it was like for Michael to be on Luke's podcast, we discussed how Michael has learnt English playing games with native speakers, specifically Dungeon's and Dragons. Michael explained to us what DnD is and why it has such appeal. We went through a lot of different aspects of this game and gave examples to help listeners understand it better 

I was truly humbled by Michael's incredible English, and it was a fantastic opportunity to pick his brain about the phenomenal Dungeons and Dragons. Personally, I see an incredible amount of potential in DnD for learners of English.

A mini lesson for patrons focusing on verbs we used in this episode will follow soon.

Episode 371 - Chatting with Rob about Geeky Gadgets

Once again we have Rob on the podcast. This time we talk about everything gadgets and technology related.

The highlight is a somewhat shocking anecdote from Rob, which I am sure some podcasters would censor, but as you know, we are liberal here on Zdenek's English Podcast. 

Patrons get a 20-minute mini lesson which is, as always, a follow-up to the episode for everyone.  This time I break down the idiomatic language used in the episode - phrases like to click with someone, dabble in something, to be on the same page, to get sucked in, and more.
