In this episode of English & Beyond, Oliver sits down with Antonio from Spanish with Antonio to talk about what it's actually like living abroad - the friendships that never quite happen, the cultural codes nobody explains, and why British politeness doesn't always lead to real connection.

| 2/16/26 | E72 Does Ambition Make You A Worse Person? | Advanced English Podcast About Society & Ethics | Does ambition make us more successful - or just more disconnected from the people around us? In this advanced English conversation, César and Oliver explore the role of ambition in modern life, from hustle culture and big-city pressure to discipline, happiness and personal relationships.

| 1/17/26 | E69 What AI Is Doing to Our Attention - Practise Your Advanced English With This Angry Rant! | Are social networks and their new best friend, artificial intelligence, destroying our attention spans? In this episode, we examine how AI-generated content, endless scrolling, and algorithm-driven platforms are changing the way we focus, learn, and consume information online. We discuss fake influencers, their low-effort “educational” content, and why depth, effort, and long-form thinking are becoming harder - and hopefully more valuable - in the age of AI. 📖 Want to improve your English eve... | 25m 38s | ||||||

| 1/3/26 | E67 Am I Chasing Goals I Don't Actually Want? - Advanced English Podcast | Why do so many resolutions quickly fail - even when we feel so motivated at the start of the year?

| 12/24/25 | E66 We're Ending the Year in a Totally Different Place - Advanced English Podcast | At the start of the year, I had a fairly clear idea of what the next twelve months would look like...that didn’t happen. In this episode, I talk about how the year actually ended up - the practical changes, the shifts in routine, and how you can end a year in a completely different place without any single dramatic moment causing it. It’s not a recap, and it’s not a lesson. Just a look at how plans drift, circumstances change, and how that only becomes obvious when the year is already over. 📖... | 18m 13s | ||||||

| 12/4/25 | E65 Friendship at First Sight - Advanced Listening Practice | Let's improve your English listening skills while discussing a very relevant topic: why do we just 'click' so much better with some people more than others? In this episode, Oliver and César talk about the strange mechanics of adult friendship: why it’s so hard to make genuine friends through work or hobbies, why life constantly interrupts the friendships we do build, and why occasionally we meet people who feel familiar from the very first conversation. 📖 Want to improve your English e... | 21m 20s | ||||||
| 11/23/25 | E64 We Quit! (Not Really...) - Advanced English Learning Podcast | Shameful! But maybe relatable? 😂 Why do two language teachers - people who literally teach languages for a living - end up quitting their own language learning lessons after just two months? In today’s episode, we talk honestly about motivation, classrooms, commuting, group dynamics, and why even experienced learners sometimes lose momentum. We discuss the reality of adult language learning, the temptation of digital tools, and the strange nostalgia that made us think traditional classes woul... | 16m 18s | ||||||
| 11/15/25 | E63 The Price of Fame - Advanced English Learning Podcast | Why do so many celebrities follow the same tragic script - early success, impossible pressure, public decline, and a carefully managed collapse? And has anything really changed in the age of influencers, TikTok fame and constant online visibility? In today’s Advanced level episode of English and Beyond, Oliver and César explore the darker side of fame: the industry built on illusion, the toxic incentives behind talent management, and the strange role we, the audience, play in keeping the syst... | 21m 00s | ||||||
| 11/9/25 | E62 The Art of Disappointing People - Advanced Listening Practice for English Students | We all do it: promise too much, deliver too late, and thus fail to meet someone’s expectations. In this Advanced level conversation, Oliver and César explore disappointment, guilt, and the strange pressure to meet other people's standards. From over-promising at work to letting friends down, we reflect on why we care more about strangers’ opinions than our loved ones’, and what it really means to “lower the bar.” 📖 Want to improve your English even more?

| 11/2/25 | E61 If We Get D.I.V.O.R.C.E.D, Has Our Marriage Failed? (Advanced English Listening Practice) | Almost half of UK marriages end in divorce - yet we often still treat it as a shameful or tragic failure. In this episode of English and Beyond, César and I explore why so many relationships end, talk a bit about our own (experiences with) marriage, whether staying married always means happiness, and why divorce might sometimes be an act of honesty rather than defeat. 📖 Want to improve your English even more?

| 10/26/25 | E60 Has Mindfulness Lost Its Mind? - Advanced English Listening (C1/C2) | After a period where every small problem felt catastrophic, and he was encouraged to be more "mindful", Oliver asks how and why this radical idea about awareness became yet another lifestyle brand. In this conversation, he and César unpack how a practice meant to help us face discomfort ended up being sold as the cure for it. 📖 Want to improve your English even more?

| 10/17/25 | E59 Do Europeans Even *Like* Each Other? (feat. French Mornings with Elisa) | What does it really mean to be European?

In this episode, we are joined by Elisa from French Mornings with Elisa (https://www.frenchmornings.com/) to talk about the strange mix of rivalry and affection that unites the continent. We compare British, French and Spanish attitudes to each other, Erasmus memories, Brexit, national clichés, and even which country gets blamed when things go... | 30m 17s | ||||||
| 10/12/25 | E58 Teachers We’ll Never Forget - Advanced English Listening (C1/C2) | Most of us remember a teacher - and not always for positives reasons. Maybe they inspired us. Maybe they embarrassed us. Maybe they simply showed up every day and did their job without ever realising how much it mattered to us. In this episode of English and Beyond, Oliver and César reflect on the people who taught them and left a big impression. They share stories of teachers who left a mark, both good and bad, and explore how those small, unspoken moments in education can shape who we becom... | 20m 17s | ||||||
| 10/2/25 | E57 Perfectly Miserable: The Culture of Optimisation - Advanced English Listening | Are we becoming obsessed with optimisation? From Greek philosophy to Apple Watches, the idea of “the good life” has shifted from balance and virtue to data, tracking, and biohacking. In this episode of English and Beyond (Advanced), Oliver and César explore the culture of self-optimisation - from sleep divorces to clean eating, from supplements to billionaire blood transfusions. You’ll hear natural British English conversation on: Where “healthy living” becomes obsessive control;Why sleep tra... | 17m 37s | ||||||
| 9/26/25 | E56 "First Love Never Dies" - Advanced English Listening Practice | They say you never forget your first love. And maybe that’s true - not because it was perfect, but because it carried an intensity that later relationships rarely match. Years later, a song, a name, or a face in a crowd can bring the memory back, fresh and overwhelming. In this episode, we talk about first crushes, awkward kisses, and secret teenage romances. Some stories are sweet, others bittersweet, but all of them remind us how powerful those early feelings can be - and how they stay with... | 19m 27s | ||||||
| 9/19/25 | E55 The End of Language Learning - Advanced English Listening Practice | When AI can podcast, teach and even translate in real time, what’s left for us humans? In this episode of English and Beyond: Advanced English Podcast, Oliver and César discuss the promises and threats of Artificial Intelligence. From Apple’s new live-translation AirPods to AI-generated podcasts on YouTube, they ask hard and sometimes depressing questions about the future of education, creativity, and work! Will teachers and podcasters (and lawyers) become redundant? Could AI replace not only... | 19m 51s | ||||||
| 9/12/25 | E54 Do We Love Our Pets Too Much? - Advanced English Listening Practice | Why are humans so devoted to pets? We spend billions on them, treat them like family, and grieve their loss as deeply as we would a relative. But they’re not human. They don’t share our language or our culture, and their lives are heartbreakingly short. So why do we choose to invite animals into our homes - knowing from the beginning that the story will end in loss? In this episode of English and Beyond, Oliver and César explore the paradox of pet ownership. We look at the history of pets, cu... | 19m 33s | ||||||
| 9/5/25 | E53 Why Do Compliments Feel So Awkward? - Advanced English Listening | Why do compliments so often make us cringe? In this advanced English podcast episode, we explore the psychology of praise and the language of compliments: why a simple “you look nice today” can trigger self-doubt, suspicion, or even discomfort. You’ll discover how cultural differences shape the way compliments are given and received in English, why flattery can sometimes feel manipulative, and how a “backhanded compliment” works. We’ll also look at natural phrases and advanced vocabulary you ... | 19m 55s | ||||||

| 7/10/25 | E51 Can You Compete with Someone You Love? (The Results Are In!) | In this episode, we explore a subtle, often unspoken kind of rivalry - the sort that happens not in sports or business, but in close relationships. What does it mean to compete with someone you care about? Can it help you grow, or does it just create tension? Oliver and César share the story of their two-year French-learning journey, but things quickly turned into a challenge. Who would reach B2 first? Who was more consistent? And who would end up paying for dinner? 📖 Want to improve your Eng... | 23m 50s | ||||||
