33 分钟In this episode, I brainstorm a story with Alastair Budge. We start with the concept of someone from Antarctica moving to London and experiencing culture shock and peculiarities of life in the UK. We come up with cultural references and humorous situations involving misunderstandings about British culture. After this episode, Alastair went off and wrote the story, which I then edited, and next week you'll be able to hear the recorded version.

Welcome to Easy stories in English, the podcast that will take your English from okay to good and from good to great.
I am Ariel goodbody, your host for this show.
Today's episode is something a bit different.
Rather than doing an episode by myself, I sat down to work with Alastair Budge from the English Learning for Curious Minds podcast.
You might remember Alastair from when I interviewed him before, or when I voiced an episode of Pioneers of the Continuum, a short series that Alastair produced.
In this episode, Alastair and I workshop a story together.
We start with the concept and brainstorm ideas to create a more interesting story.
After our conversation, Alistair went away to write the story.
We edited it together, and next week you'll be able to hear the recorded version.
As part of this project, Alistair also interviewed me for English learning for curious minds.
We talked about my creative process and writing in general, and it's a really fun conversation.
You can watch the conversation on the Leonardo English YouTube channel.
This project allowed me to play a very different role than I'm used to.
I'm usually the one in full creative control, so it was exciting to act as more of an editor.
You can read the transcript for this episode@easystoriesinenglish.com together, or you can watch the video version on YouTube.
Since it's quite a conversational episode and we talk faster than we do in our usual shows.
I do recommend either reading the transcript or watching the video with subtitles.
By the way, I have another live stream coming up this Friday at 06:00 p.m.
uK time.
I had so much fun last time, and I think you'll enjoy it too.
