Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Talking to author Anna Brooke about her book Monster Stink, the sequel to Monster Bogey (Chicken House publishing). Anna is a travel writer and author of books for children. She is a great storyteller, and in this episode she talks about her fun new book for kids, which involves dangerous gas. This leads to a new topic for the podcast; farting! We teach you the most important vocabulary for this tricky subject, and then Anna tells some chilling stories about real supernatural encounters she has had. Not farts, but similar - ghosts!👉 Episode page with fart vocabulary 💨 https://teacherluke.co.uk/2024/08/12/895-books-farts-amp-ghosts-with-anna-brooke/

Talking about the story of Lord Lucan, the British aristocrat who disappeared in 1974 after the murder of his nanny and attempted murder of his wife. Lord Lucan is an infamous name in Britain, and the story of his disappearance is a compelling glimpse into a life of privilege, high-stakes gambling, and unresolved mystery. I am joined by Alastair Budge, who covered this story for one of his podcast episodes, and we discuss it in detail.👉 Episode page https://teacherluke.co.uk/2024/07/30/893-the-mystery-of-lord-lucan-with-alastair-budge/👉 English Learning for Curious Minds https://pod.link/1489301603👉 Alastair's The Lord Lucan episode of ELfCM https://pod.link/1489301603/episode/16779ace14a51eb475ab4084551c52f4👉 Pioneers of the Continuum - A Time-Travelling Story for English Learners https://pod.link/1685968014
