Today's guest is Shay Eskew from Nashville, Tennessee (USA).His life is so unbelievable that if you would see a movie about it, you’d probably say NO WAY this would happen in real life. His life is stranger than fiction. At the age of 8 the trajectory of his life changed forever. Shay was accidentally set afire when playing with a girl from the neighborhood. As a result, 65% of his body is covered with burn scars and he has endured over 40 surgeries in 40 years. The doctors said he would

I'm a runner with a reading problem, or a reader with a running problem. Fact is that I can't imagine what my life would look like without a good amount of running or reading. So today's episode is more about reading than running. I have the pleasure to talk with another book lover and language enthusiast, Oriana Domínguez. She is the founder of the Book Club Chronicles, an online book club for introverted women who want to improve their English. Oriana studied English and Spanish Philology

To me, polyglots are the ultra runners of language learning. They go the extra mile(s) and seem to be able to do the absolute impossible. Luca Sadurny is one of them. He is a passionate language learner able to communicate in 8 languages (English, French, Spanish, Romanian, Brazilian-Portuguese, German, Neapolitan and Italian). However, in school, he never thought that he was good at languages. With English he felt particularly frustrated: after studying it for 13 long years he was still unable

I "met" Ozkan Mehmet on Linkedin. He posted a photo with a pile of books I fell in love with. I saw titles like "Chi Running", "The Science of Running" and was intrigued by them. I also liked something he wrote: A marathon is not a challenge. It is the way.
