This week the ‘Thinking in English’ Community are going to design their own podcasts!
I’ve been making Thinking in English episodes for over 4 years. In fact, I’ve released over 500 episodes of the Thinking in English podcast and bonus podcast. I’m obviously not the only podcaster in the world… there are over 5 million different podcasts on Spotify!
Perhaps, some of you also have ideas and ambitions to become a podcaster.
In this conversation club, we will be planning and designing your own podcasts. We’ll be thinking about your podcast themes, episode topics, structure, and much more!
Here are some conversation questions to get you talking!
The Thinking in English Conversation Club takes place every TUESDAY and THURSDAY at 12pm, 6pm, and 11pm UK time!
You can find more details on how to participate here – Patreon!
