This week we celebrate Valentine’s Day — a day of romantic gestures and declarations? But how deep do they go? In today’s episode, we’re talking about body language and how it can sometimes reveal more than words ever can. From eye contact to nervous gestures, we’ll explore a few clues that might help you decide whether your Valentine is being completely honest.
In January, like us, you may like to look forward and inject positive new energy into your life and work, or perhaps you prefer to look backwards to review the year that is passed and draw positive conclusions.For the first podcast of 2026, our colleagues Caroline and Sue have chosen to look back at 2025 and single out a number of positive break-throughs which serve as cause for optimism and celebration as we embrace the year to come.
Welcome to this special Christmas edition of Ze English Podcast! This month, Sue and Lawrence dive into one of Britain’s most mysterious festive traditions: the Christmas pudding. Sue reveals her granny’s secret recipe — a recipe so old-fashioned it takes three days, a lot of stirring, a Christmas wish, and even something called suet (don’t panic, we explain everything).If you love good food — and we know you do — get ready for spices, brandy, Guinness, a bit of chaos, and plenty of Christmas cheer.Let’s get into Stage 1… before Sue runs out of time!
This week, on the last Thursday of November, is Thanksgiving day. For this special occasion we have a bonus edition taken from the archive in company with our dearly missed former colleague Regina, who talks us through the meaning and mood music that accompanies what is one of the most popular holidays in the American calendar.
In today’s episode, we speak with our colleague Floyd in Jamaica, which was directly hit by Hurricane Melissa about three weeks ago. Floyd tells us what daily life has been like since the storm, describes the damage in his hometown of Montego Bay, and explains how people are slowly rebuilding with courage and determination.
France is the land of butter, cheese, and steak tartare — so it’s no surprise that only about 2% of the French actually call themselves vegetarian. Across the Channel, more than 15% of adults in the UK now follow some kind of meat-free diet. In today’s episode, Hazel tells us why it's important to her and how she has handled raising her children as vegetarians.
To celebrate the 4th season of ECSPLICITE podcasting we have chosen a topic about language, culture and society that is relevant to all the languages we train : Inclusive language. Our world is changing and the language we use along with it. We asked our South African colleague Deonne, currently living and working in Korea, to share her ideas about what it means to use inclusive language in South Africa, why it is important and inevitably the problems it raises.
In today's episode we come to the children's hospital in Marseille, La Timone, to support the Association Les Minots de l'Hosto and the amazing work they do organising after-school care & extra-curricular activities for the child patients. We talk to children and teachers who inspired us with their upbeat, bright and cheerful attitude to their environment and treatment. This episode is dedicated to the mums and dads we met and their daily fortitude in adversity. To support the charity: https://www.lesminotsdelhosto.org/nous-soutenir
As Republicans and Trump supporters in particular celebrate the first 100 days of the the new Trump administration, we travel to Texas to talk to our colleague Evelyne, French born naturalised American, who's been living in Houston for many years, as she shares her thoughts and feelings about the present as well as her hopes and fears for the future in the new reality that is Trump's version of America First.
Today we're talking about the thought-provoking Netflix series Adolescence, which in only four short weeks since its release has been viewed in millions of homes in 70 different countries, and sparked serious public debate as well as political reactions, with the UK Prime Minister himself talking about it in the media. So what is all the fuss about. We asked our colleague Sophie, who was recently recommended the series by a close friend, to give us her take on this mini-series sensation.
Today our podcast is about social media and its effect on our children, toddlers, teenagers or young adults. Colleagues Sue and Mireille share experiences about dealing with the impact of social media on the family and family life and how to handle things when influencers affect habits and behaviour in their children.
Are you a 'baby boomer', a millennial perhaps, or maybe a recently graduated "gen Z". And why does it even matter? Our guest contributor this month, Inger, is going to take a quick, fun dive into the quirks, facts, and history of people from different generations and share her own feelings about what makes the generational gap so, well ... engaging !
Welcome to the first episode of the year.
Today's subject is maternity leave and the work life balance, as we hear from Sophie, our colleague, who having just experienced maternity leave, came back to work recently and had to strike a new balance in her life with two children and, of course, a career.
The sentences fell this morning in the Mazan rape trial that has shocked the nation and dramatically shifted the way France is talking about rape, rapists and their victims.
Today in conversation Sue & Sandra honour the heroine at the centre of this traumatic story : Gisèle Pelicot, who braved public scrutiny to make sure that shame swapped sides.
Sue mentions a tribune in the newspaper Libération.

This week's podcast, where Sus is in conversation with William, is about the YouTuber Inoxtag who has made a movie called Kaizen, all about his ascension of Everest and what has happened since. It's an extraordinary thing to watch, particularly if you have no interest in YouTubers; so listen up, and, like Sue, you might just be surprised.
With less than 3 weeks to go before the election in the US, we talk again to Jonathan our British expat living in Cincinnati, just down the road from Springfield Ohio, about the succession of amazing events since we last spoke six months ago and we explore different scenarios in the event of Republican or Democrat victory.
Oasis, the famous British rock band, have announced a UK comeback tour for 2025. The announcement has been met with both enthusiasm & criticism about ticketing from fans and press speculation about the motivation behind their revival fifteen years after they disbanded amid acrimony. Today we check in with Cyril, himself a musician, who tells us about the band and their music and why he for one is looking forward to their return.
To celebrate this final episode in this season and to anticipate the summer, we have added a companion piece to our last episode about the association Les Minots de l'Hosto at the Children's Hospital in La Timone in Marseille, as we talk to the school's director Benjamin, who's going to tell us all about the school and its collaboration with the association we support.Here's the link again for anyone wishing to donate to this worthy cause. https://www.lesminotsdelhosto.org/nous-soutenir
As the Olympic Torch arrives in Paris on Bastille day, and fireworks and drones over the Eiffel Tower join a chorus of growing excitement in the run-up for the Olympic Games, we hear from Hannah, a Team US judoka, about the disappointments, sacrifices and the rewards of top level athletes who prepare for the Olympic Games.
In the past few weeks snap elections have been called in France and UK and today in conversation with Marie, who is Irish and Sue who is British, we explore what these elections mean for our respective democracies; we discuss Brexit, the gilets jaunes, the growing influence of social media and remember Churchill's famous quip about Democracy being worst possible system of government, except that is for all the others.
