In the very first episode of The Word Affairs, Kaiynath will be introducing the podcast, talking a little bit about what are the main aims of each episode and introducing herself. The affair of this week's episode is motivation! What does it mean to be motivated? And how is it linked to the concept of discipline? And of course, every episode ends with a weekly recommendation.
