In this episode, I’m joined by Clare, an Englishwoman who moved to the Czech Republic before the Velvet Revolution and settled in Moravia.

Luke Thompson from Luke’s English Podcast joins me to talk AI and humour. Master podcaster, English teacher and stand-up comedian, Luke tells a series of jokes — my task is to work out which one wasn’t written by AI.

In this video, I share what it felt like to sit through the typhoon and experience its full power up close. Apologies for several…

🇻🇳➡️🇨🇿 In this episode of Zdenek’s English Podcast , I trade Vietnam’s chaotic motorbike traffic for the peaceful Czech countryside — no helmet required. I look back on my time abroad: how I went from terrified scooter rookie to semi-respectable rider, discovered the joy (and occasional humiliation) of pickleball 🏓, and… well… also lost a few battles to my gaming addiction and laziness. It’s…
In this episode, I sit down once again with Kieren, author of the short story collection Battery Life , which we discussed back in Episode 350. This time, it's a more casual catch-up — we talk about how life has been since we last spoke, dive into thoughts on London, reflect on the state of the world, and have a good old ramble about all sorts of things. Just two friends chatting and seeing where…
