  • Hello, my lovely learners.

  • Today's episode is not from Easy Stories in English, although I am Ariel Goodbody.

  • No, today's episode is from the podcast English Learning For Curious Minds with Alistair Budge.

  • Now, those of you with good memories and strong ears.

  • That's a bit strange.

  • Strong ears.

  • Oh, well,

  • those of you with good memories will remember that I did a collaboration with Alastair last year.

  • We wrote a story together on the podcast.

  • We went through the whole writing process and the end result was A Visitor from Chilly Bottom,

  • which was a really funny story about a penguin visiting London and trying to free all his penguin friends.

  • Well, this episode is not about penguins,

  • but it is about something very interesting, which is Banksy.

  • Banksy is possibly the most famous street artist in the world,

  • the most famous graffiti artist in the world.

  • I'm sure you've heard of him.

  • Banksy comes from the city of Bristol in southwest England,

  • and I grew up in Bath, which is very close to Bristol.

  • So I've seen a lot of Banksy artwork both in Bristol and now in London, where I live.

  • There was even an Art of Banksy exhibition around the corner from where I work in London last year.
