About this episode

<p>Join me for a completely spontaneous &quot;rambling challenge&quot; in which I attempt to talk without stopping for at least 45 minutes. I end up discussing the benefits of talking to yourself for English fluency, the ideas of &quot;practice makes perfect&quot; and &quot;practice makes permanent&quot;, the best advice Tom Hiddleston ever got, what it means to &quot;seize the day&quot;, how thinking about death is life affirming, Dr Kawashima&#39;s Brain Training, and a nostalgia trip about Super Mario Kart on the Nintendo. </p><p>• Luke&#39;s event at the British Council 👉 <a href="https://www.britishcouncil.fr/en/events/talks-english-scary-stories-unexplained-mysteries " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.britishcouncil.fr/en/events/talks-english-scary-stories-unexplained-mysteries </a></p><p>• Get the PDF transcript 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Life-Death-Mario-Kart-A-Rambling-Challenge-1008-Episode-Transcript.pdf " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/11/Life-Death-Mario-Kart-A-Rambling-Challenge-1008-Episode-Transcript.pdf </a></p><p>• Episode page 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/11/04/life-death-mario-kart-1008-a-rambling-challenge-🗣️/ " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/11/04/life-death-mario-kart-1008-a-rambling-challenge-🗣️/ </a></p><p>• LEP Premium 👉 <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
