E06: Going to prison for some pasta

E06: Going to prison for some pasta

Author: Martin Johnston February 20, 2017 Duration: 12:18

Before radio, TVs, iPads, mobile phones and everything else, entertainment was simply story telling and that's exactly what this is! Listen to a true story of how I nearly got sent to prison for eating some pasta, lots of stupid sound effects and of course some RnR vocabulary!


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'.
