    Ep. 40 · The Two Weeks That Became Nineteen Years
    2026/10/18
    It's Sunday, which means it's storytelling day. This week Brad finally tells the story he's never told on the show before — the two weeks right out of university when a friend's skiing accident, a classroom full of adult students, and one sentence from a teacher he almost didn't listen to quietly decided the next nineteen years of his life. Megan reacts, asks questions, and shares a small secret of her own. Light, funny, and a little bit moving. The full episode, transcript and vocabulary are free in the AIdioms app.

  • Ep. 39 · Three Wild Facts: An Ancient University, a Bigger Africa, and Crows Who Never Forget

    Ep. 39 · Three Wild Facts: An Ancient University, a Bigger Africa, and Crows Who Never Forget
    2026/10/16
    It's Friday, which means curiosities day. Brad and Megan dig into three real, surprising facts: how one teaching institution has quietly outlasted an entire ancient empire, why the Africa on your classroom map is a lot smaller than the real thing, and the slightly unsettling truth that crows remember human faces — and hold grudges — for years. Along the way: a bike chain disaster, a doorbell camera gone rogue, and one very confident compliment Brad probably shouldn't have made mid-fact. Three stories, two hosts, and a lot of 'wait, really?' moments.
