In this Intermediate English listening episode, we explore the Prince Andrew scandal and ask a deeper question: are powerful people really ever held to account?

You’ll learn key vocabulary related to law, privilege, media, and public opinion while following a clear explanation of the events surrounding Prince Andrew, Jeffrey Epstein, and the civil case brought by Virginia Giuffre. We examine the difference between criminal and civil law, what it means to be “held to account”, and how wealth and status can influence consequences.

This episode is designed for intermediate English learners who want to improve their listening skills while engaging with complex social and political topics - perfect for learners interested in real-world English, current affairs, and critical thinking!
