Today I’m joined by Clare to talk about her life of music. In this conversation, Clare shares her experience growing up in a highly musical household, her classical training and later love affair with folk music, how music has taken her around the world and introduced her to new people, and the power of music to bring people together.


Clare is also an English teacher, she has a website where you can find lots of free resources to help you on your language journey:

Also, here are some links Clare has provided for music that she plays and recommends:


I play in a duet Broch Inspectors (violin/tenor guitar/voice). Mainly instrumental music of Ireland and Scotland, and we're currently doing a tune a day -

If you've reached a point in your English studies where typical lessons feel too shallow, Deep Talk: Advanced English Discussions with Rhiannon ELT might be the conversation you've been missing. Hosted by Rhiannon Carter, this podcast moves firmly beyond standard grammar drills and vocabulary lists to engage with the complex, provocative, and often overlooked subjects that shape our world. Each episode is built on the belief that true language mastery happens when you're intellectually invested, tackling themes that genuinely spark curiosity and debate. You'll hear thoughtful explorations into matters like societal attitudes toward death and dying, the nuances of LGBT rights, and the intriguing process of how history gets rewritten. Rhiannon guides these advanced discussions with clarity, making sophisticated ideas accessible while naturally modeling the precise vocabulary and fluid expression fluent speakers use. The dialogue might wander into the cultural significance of witchcraft, examine the relationship between exercise and menstrual cycles, or even pull back the curtain on the less-glamorous realities of being a language teacher on social media. This isn't about passive listening; it's an invitation to stretch your comprehension and develop your own opinions on substantive topics. For advanced learners seeking a richer, more authentic context for their skills, this podcast provides a unique space where challenging English becomes the tool for deeper understanding, not just the end goal.
