Intro

Mitch:
[0:23] We've hit a milestone as well. I just... I didn't even notice. We're on episode 80.

Isi:
[0:30] When is 100?

Mitch:
[0:32] Next year sometime. Well, as it's the milestone, we'd like to say welcome to the Easy English Podcast, episode 80.

Isi:
[0:42] Whoop, whoop.

Mitch:
[0:43] Wow. 80 episodes. Crazy. And welcome to any new people who have just discovered us.

Isi:
[0:50] Hello.

Mitch:
[0:51] Today, we've got a few topics and a brand new topic, which I'd like to make a continuous topic, that appears in every episode. But our main 'Topic of the Week' is a subject which was requested, in the last podcast by Marcel, from the Swiss-German border.

Isi:
[1:14] Scotland. - What?

Mitch:
[1:17] Oh yeah! - Scotland's not on the Swiss-German border.

Isi:
[1:21] But, wasn't that the topic.

Mitch:
[1:22] Yeah, so Marcel asked for us to talk about Scotland. And, one issue we have with that is... we have been to Scotland right? - We have been... - But we don't know that much. - several times. - Yeah, several times, but we still didn't really know that much. - No. - So I did a bit of research and I’m gonna sort of, enlighten all of us, because a lot of these things I was like, what? Wow, that's amazing. There's so much interesting stuff about Scotland. And we also have an 'Unhelpful Advice' question, from another listener, who sent in a voice message. And then at the end, we have our new brand new section, 'British Jokes'.
