Ever wondered how the (podcast) sausage is made?
In this slightly "meta" episode, I reveal the step-by-step process to make an episode of English Learning for Curious Minds.
- Choosing podcast topics: interest, timelessness, and neutrality
- Avoiding controversial topics and current affairs
- Researching topics through books, articles, and data
- Writing full scripts for natural conversation flow
- Using a variety of vocabulary for diverse learners
- Rewriting scripts after initial recordings
- Aiming for 20-minute episodes, 2,500-3,000-word scripts
- Incorporating AI tools for brainstorming and editing
- Results from our 2025 listener survey
- Thank you!

Amazing podcasts! Thanks a lot 😊
I always learn a lot from both you and your friend Tom Wilkinson. It is interesting to see people writing comments here learning English.
