E02: Telling Lies

E02: Telling Lies

Author: Martin Johnston February 6, 2017 Duration: 14:24

Find out what a 'white lie' is and terms such as "I'm watching you like a hawk". And as always, lots of stupid stories about nothing - Happy Listening! :)


Martin Johnston hosts Rock n' Roll English, a podcast that feels more like hanging out backstage than sitting in a classroom. Each episode is built around candid, often hilarious conversations with friends, where the topics naturally drift toward life's louder edges-think music, culture, and the stories you don't find in standard textbooks. The whole idea is to absorb the rhythm and slang of everyday English by hearing it used in real, unfiltered chat. You'll pick up vocabulary and grasp grammar intuitively from context, all wrapped in the spirit of rock and roll. It’s an education, but one filled with laughter and genuine curiosity, where learning happens because you're simply engaged in the conversation. This isn't a formal lesson; it's about catching the nuances of the language while listening to people talk about what actually interests them. Tune in to this uniquely energetic podcast for a dose of comedy and learning that’s as unpredictable as it is useful. Just keep on rockin'.
