Episode 5 "The Compilation"


Listen Later

Episode 5 is a compilation of the first 3 episodes, where I talked with fellow teacher Hakeem Kmet about how criminals use the passive voice to be evasive. Specifically, we talked about Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. We also discussed Narcos: Columbia, and I talked about how the Passive Voice is used in Spanish.


In the 2nd half, We talked about the struggles of teaching in the inner city.
