E65: Bonfire Night

E65: Bonfire Night

Author: Martin Johnston November 6, 2017 Duration: 26:30

'Remember remember the 5th November' we say in English... but why?! Listen to today's show and find out! PLUS... we talk about BABY NAMES for Dan the Man, watching PORNOS with your Nan, confusion about QUEEN names aaaaand there is a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! Not to mention the RnR Vocabulary and Grammar.... you could describe this episode as ON FIRE 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'.
