Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2019/01/01

This episode has two main parts. The first part is a classic New Year's Eve Road to Civilisation with my cousin Honza and also an additional guest Nrup. The seconds part is an audio version of the live Facebook video I did earlier the same day. If you are a Spurs fan, I highly recommend not listening to this one.

Episode 242 - Adjective Football

Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2018/12/29

This episode was recorded on a train last winter. I kept postponing publishing it because I always thought it was a bit weird. I have now changed my mind, though. It features my good friend Nrup from India. We were travelling from Podebrady to Prague and we decided to kill time by playing a well-known word game and recording our struggle as a ZEP episode. I wanted to raise the challenge so I modified the rules of the game in such way that we were supposed to use adjectives only. Especially

I am even prepared to change my beliefs if you convince me. In this episode I talk about the Czech president and why I have very

Episode 239 - Shedding Light on Brexit

Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2018/12/22

In this episode I talk to Nick, a student of politics from England, about Brexit. Nick is currently in the middle of writing an essay on Brexit and thus has some fresh insight into the whole subject. What is Brexit? Why did the UK vote Brexit? Is there a deal? Is there a chance this could all be reverted? What are the current options? This conversation might be slightly geeky and you might have to google names of politicians, but I think if you are into politics or care about the future of Europe,

2018/12/15

This is part 2 of the class with Barbara. We actually start off this episode by speaking German, which is kinda hilarious. Barbara tells us what it was like living in Austria and compares that to her life in the Czech Republic as well. Later we touch upon Brexit as we talk about Barbara's future plans. And last but not least, Barbara talks about the TV series she is keen on. There were slight technical problems caused by full memory of the recording device which also resulted in an abrupt end of

Zdenek’s English Podcast ·

2018/11/25

This time I am joined by a podcast regular Mark from the UK. We have about 20-minute catch-up chat in which I manage to throw in a lot of idioms related to health, illnesses and dying. Mark decided to visit me in the Czech Republic just to record this podcast. We both had a lot of fun recording this.

2018/10/07

In this episode, I introduce you to an American friend of mine with whom I took the CELTA course a few years ago. This summer we both worked for the came company in England, but in different centres. The episode is little bit light-hearted because we are good friends so wind-ups and jokes at each other's expense come to us very naturally.

Firstly, I tell you some information about the meet-up, how it was organised, where it happened, and how it compares to the previous one organised a year before during which I had met Luke Thompson of Luke's English Podcast but failed to meet everyone else.

On top of that, she has studied in the USA and has now completed her premedical course in the Czech Republic.
