Greetings, Screamers!

This week, we're conjuring up a spine-chilling Halloween special that's bound to send shivers down your spine. Join us as we delve into the world of all things eerie and unsettling.

In this episode, your hosts, Masha and Jedrek, are your ghoulish guides on a terrifying trip down memory lane. Masha shares her blood-curdling tale of her first experience as a young teacher, a story that's sure to make your skin crawl.

But that's not all! Our duo bravely attempts to dissect, if not outright butcher, the fine line between "scary" and "creepy." What truly constitutes a good horror story? Is a little girl who stands and stares in silence in the middle of a forest enough to send shivers down your spine, or is it just plain creepy? The answers lie within.

Tune in to unravel the mysterious world of horror, as we discuss Stephen King, HP Lovecraft, and a host of other chilling topics that will leave you both enlightened and spooked.

So, whether you're a horror aficionado or just looking for a spooky good time, join us on this hair-raising journey. Have a horrible... no, have a beautifully terrifying day, and remember to subscribe to the Screamers Podcast. You won't want to miss this bone-chilling Halloween special!

Hi Thinkers!

In this week's engaging episode, Jedrek and Masha return for another insightful conversation. As the autumn season descends upon us, our perspectives may lean towards the pessimistic and gloomy side. However, it's no surprise, considering both hosts reside in regions facing conflict or high terrorist alerts, all while grappling with the ever-present fear of artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, we aim to illuminate a glimmer of hope in our hearts, and we believe it shines through in this episode.

Masha introduces a thought-provoking discussion on justice and revenge, while Jedrek delves into the tragic aftermath of Germany post-World War II. Join us for this unique podcast experience filled with meaningful conversations, all hosted by non-native speakers.

Hi Thinkers!

Listen to our interview with Solange, who claims to speak "petrolium English" but, as you will soon find out, she's much more competent than that ;) Ultimately, we are going to discuss the concept of luxury with her, and we'll ask her who has (or had) a more comfortable life - a medieval king or us today. But before we get there, we are going to spend some time in South Africa, Solange's favorite tourist destination ;)

Hi Thinkers!

This week Jedrek and Masha are finally hosting someone from Romania! :) Julie is a former English teacher, now a teacher-trainer based in Bucharest, Romania. Having spend a good deal of time in the UK, she's back and she has only good things to say about her country and the Eastern Europe in general. Julie is not afraid of AI and it disruptive potential, saying that people will forever need their Julies and Mashas to interact with. A comforting point of view! ;) The fear of AI results also from a very westernized view of education and it's far from being worldwide. Last but not least, she compares teaching to training, our immortal question ;)

Hi Thinkers!

This week Jedrek and Masha are in conversation with another non-native English user, Krzysiek, an owner of a software house in Poland and a big enthusiast of history.

Listen in if you're interested in how he manages to combine these two areas, and also if you are curious:

1) what good came out of the slow trains in the 90's Poland?

2) how could history be used to combat the present wave of fake news?

3) what is the difference between history and the past?

4) what's the universal formula for world peace?

Find Krzysiek on Twitter (X) as @Poligonpolska

Hi Thinkers!

This week it's just the two of us, Jedrek and Masha, but we hope you are going to enjoy the conversation that starts with some stats about our podcast and how international it has become, next we're discussing the legendary efficiency of the Scandinavial system of education (English in particilar), the potential of commercializing our show by advertising to you some big apps like Busuu, Duolingo, Memrise or Quizlet. And last but certainly not least, in the thinking out loud proper, Jedrek is asking Masha whether it's easier to get rich or to get wise, and whether the concept of 'easy money' exists for real? What has keeping a journal and greenwashing to do with all this? Listen to our conversation to find out ;)

Have a beautiful day!

Hi Thinkers!

Have you been missing us? Because we were missing you a lot! Your 2 favorite English teachers are back with a new season of Thinking Out Loud. In the first episode of the season we're catching up after summer, explaining what this show is about to the new listeners and hoping AI will not replace us anytime soon ;)

Hi Thinkers!

This week we're hosting Boris to discuss the difference between good quality and good condition. What happens to a car when it hits a tree? Does it lose its quality or does just its condtion change? What about a yoghurt long after its best-before date? This and much more in this week's conversation with our special guest whose English is impeccable but retains the charming French character.

And have a great day!

PS. We're taking a one month break now, see you in September!
