E61: Memory like a Goldfish

E61: Memory like a Goldfish

Author: Martin Johnston October 9, 2017 Duration: 24:27

Do you have a memory like a goldfish or an elephant? Find out the answer and what they mean in today's show! Join us as we speak about GANDHI, FLUSHING things DOWN toilets, SEX and lots more! RnR vocab, RnR grammar, Dan the Man... what more could you want from a podcast?! Just keeeeeeep on ROCKin' baby!


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'.
