  I hope you're doing well today and that you're ready for another dose of English listening practice.

  So this time it's another conversation episode and my guest today is my friend Ian Moore.

• 00:31

  It's actually the third time he's been on the podcast.

• 00:34

  I wonder if you remember, some of you listening won't have heard those episodes because they happened a few years ago.

• 00:40

  Now, some of you listening, if you're long term listeners, you will have heard those episodes, but there's a chance that you've forgotten about them because they happened before the COVID 19 pandemic arrived, when of course, our memories all got wiped.

• 00:54

  So you've probably forgotten.

• 00:56

  So just to recap the basics about Ian Moore, he's from England and has spent most of his professional career as a stand up comedian doing gigs up and down the uk, comparing at the Comedy Store in London, hosting corporate events, and generally making audiences of people laugh out loud for a living for a few decades.

  Ian's onstage Persona is quite dry.

• 01:23

  He's sarcastic, he's very conversational and always very funny.

• 01:29

  Some years ago, Ian and his wife decided to have a total change of scene and move from England to the Loire Valley in central France.

• 01:40

  And this had always been a dream of Ian's wife, who is half English and half French.

• 01:45

  And she convinced Ian without too much trouble that he could live in rural French bliss while also commuting back to the UK every weekend to continue his stand up career.

• 01:57

  And that's what they did.

• 01:58

  And that's what Ian has been doing for the last couple of decades, living with his family and various animals in the French countryside, running a B and B.

• 02:06

  That's a bed and breakfast, okay, A B and B, that's a sort of guest house for tourists, okay?

• 02:14

  A place where you have your home and you open up part of it to guests who come in like a sort of a kind of like a hotel, but not quite as formal as a hotel.

• 02:25

  So that's a B and B, a bed and breakfast.

• 02:27

  So they've been living in the French countryside running a B and B, while Ian has also been pursuing his other life of stand up comedy in England.
