Episode 363 - Speaking to my Cousin about his Job

Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2021/04/25

Over the years, my cousin Honza has been the guest with the most appearances on this podcast. You might remember that we used to record a series called Road to Civilization, which does contribute to that fact quite significantly. I decided to catch up with Honza in this episode to ask how he is doing, how he is coping with the lockdown era, and above all to tell us about his job. ________________________________________________________________________________________ 👉 Become a ZEP patron -

Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2021/03/28

This is an interview with Rod from Brazil. Rod is a great English teacher who also happens to have his own Youtube channel called Rod the Brazilian teacher. Rod is a very inspiring person. He has achieved a lot despite (and because of) his disability, which I chose as the main topic of the episode. I ask Rod questions about what it is like being disabled and what sort of difficulties one has to face and how this can actually make one stronger.

In this episode, I chat with Daniel from England who happens to be living in Spain.

We talk about Daniel's channel and how he helps high level learners to pass what is notoriously known as the most difficult exam with it. One day, I'd like to try my hand at it, so I personally find channels like Daniel's extremely useful. 👉 Daniel's
