  • Reviews from Hong Kong! I have been listening to LEP for over 6 years and LEP is my all-time favourite podcast. Even though I don't pay for LEP premium (I don't have much time to listen to podcasts 😭 as I love to listen to great Cantonese songs as well) I hope my positive review here could contribute a bit to Luke and the community. I especially love the moments when Luke is rambling 🀣 making dead jokes from nowhere, as welll as meeting his friends Amber and Paul πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Paranormal Experiences πŸ‘»πŸ“˜ with Anna Brooke [984]
Q: What inspired the character of Monsieur Framboise and the ghostly themes in Death by Chocolate?
Anna explains that the character drew inspiration from real paranormal experiences in her Paris apartment, including activity around a hat that seemed to be connected to a ghost of a man. The idea of a ghost who loves chocolate and is bound to a location, as well as the mystery of a murder, helped shape the story's premise.
10 Questions about Food 🍲 with Martin [985]
Q: What is your go-to meal to impress guests?
Luke jokes about Deliveroo and suggests comfort-food options that are reliable rather than flashy; the discussion centers on practical, comforting dishes rather than showy cooking.
10 Questions about Food 🍲 with Martin [985]
Q: Who prepares the food in your house?
Luke describes a typical arrangement where he handles breakfasts and most weekday meals, while his wife often takes on dinners at weekends; there's a playful tone about sharing culinary duties.
English Language Haiku Master John Stevenson ✍️ (Interview) [983]
Q: What is the primary distinction between haiku and senryu as discussed by John Stevenson?
Stevenson explains that haiku traditionally centers on nature and seasonality with subtle, context-rich imagery, while senryu focuses more on human nature and social observation, often with a wry or satirical tone.
Room 101πŸšͺwith Charlie Baxter πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Funny British English Listening Practice [980]
Q: What would you like to banish first in Room 101?
The first banished item is opaque toilet roll dispensers, because not knowing how much paper is left creates practical and embarrassing anxieties, so removing them makes public facilities more user-friendly.
