    Stop! It's time to meet the Doctor!

    -

    Which doctor might I be talking about? I'm talking about the cult BBC series called Dr. Who, which has been a BBC serial since 1963!

    But why should we want to watch a series that has been on British TV for so long?

    -

    In her return to the English Podcast with Tommy, Laura from @tesolpop talks to us about Doctor Who and the importance of this British show and how you can improve your English skills.

    Despite this TV series going on for over 60 years, this is a mainstay of the BBC and British society and culture.

    -

    For Anglophiles, this is a series that you can really get into.

    -

    There are some really nice phrases and language used in this TV series for example British puns and sarcasm.

  • 99 - Actively listening on podcasts with Catherine (@catherineangus_hearyougo)

    Actively listening can be a hard skill to master.

    -

    And it's even harder when we are listening to podcasts because we can't always actively see the people talking in the podcasts.

    -

    So what should we do?! Well, in this debut episode brought to you by Catherine from @catherineangus_hearyougo how we master this skill.

    -

    Firstly, it is important to tell you a bit about active listening. Active listening has two phases. Then we need to get some tools as well: whether that be a computer, tablet or pen and paper.

    -

    It's time to actively listen :-) to this episode and find out how you can actively listen to podcasts and how this skill can enhance your English skills.

  • 98 - Improve your English with marginalia presented by Andy (@andys.)

    It's all in the margins!

    -

    Yes, did you know that you could also improve your English by writing in margins?

    -

    But how? Well in this episode Andy from @andys.everyday.english tells us about how we can improve our English with marginalia.

    -

    Andy tells us that marginalia is a skill of making notes in the margins of a These notes can written document whether that be a book, an article or a letter. These notes can be made by the original author or by you the reader. And they can be your thoughts, annotations or other comments to do with the piece of writing.

    -

    For some people, myself included as I mentioned in this episode, writing in the margins of a book or written document is not something we like to do. However, Andy mentions that students can get a lot from the art of marginalia.

    -

    Join the conversation! Let us know what you think of the art of marginalia. Is it as I see 'the defacing of literature' or a conversation between the reader and writer of the book?
