Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 45 ratings
  • I find this podcast extremely entertaining, insightful and a great tool for English language learners. Fabio is a natural storyteller, with a lot of humor (including the very important ability of laughing at himself) and universal observations about human nature. I recommended the podcast to a student of mine and she liked it as well - his voice is warm, the pronunciation is clear and the stories endearing.

  • Great conversation with Fabio about the music industry in both Italy and the UK. Knowing that the design of this show is for learners of English makes the story that is being painted even more powerful. Thanks Fabio.

  • Memorable stories

    This is a podcast that connects us with others through story. I love how Fabio interviews people of diverse backgrounds and combines the visual element of photography into the telling. This is a very creative podcast and I highly recommend it, especially for those learning English.
