🎭 Is anonymity a shield or a weapon? 🎭
In this special first video episode of English and Beyond, we explore anonymity—why some people seek it, how it grants freedom, and how it can also be used for harm.
From masked balls and Banksy to whistleblowers and internet trolls, we discuss:
✅ Why people protect their identities (and when they shouldn’t)
✅ How anonymity enables free speech, creativity, and safety
✅ The dark side—online trolling, misinformation, and ethical dilemmas
✅ How cultural attitudes toward privacy differ across countries
✅ Personal experiences navigating visibility on the internet
But most importantly… why am I wearing a balaclava? 🧐
🔊 This episode is perfect for English learners looking to improve listening skills while discussing thought-provoking topics about society, language, and culture.
📖 Want to improve your English even more?
🎙 New episodes every week! Subscribe now to practise listening, expand your vocabulary, and learn English in a natural, fun way.
And remember, if this C1/C2 level podcast is a little too tough for you, we have "English and Beyond: Intermediate English Podcast" too!
