Luke's ENGLISH Podcast - Learn British English with Luke Thompson

Episode 1000! 🎉

Here it is, finally! The long-awaited episode 1000. It has taken me weeks to finish this. If you listen, you will understand why it has taken so long! This is a celebration of this podcast after 17 years and 1000 episodes. It includes a lot of rambling, an interview with my brother, questions from friends and family, and the voices of various guests who have been on this podcast over the last few years. Also, regular interruptions from my daughter and all sorts of other random moments such as the sounds of dogs, woodpeckers, neighbours, and more! Thank you to all the LEPsters around the world and my guests for helping to make this achievement possible! ❤️ Episode page 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/08/12/episode-1000/ [https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/08/12/episode-1000/] PDF Transcript 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Episode-1000-Transcript-2.pdf [https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Episode-1000-Transcript-2.pdf] LEP Premium 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium [https://teacherluke.co.uk/premium] Full LEP Episode Archive 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/episodes [https://teacherluke.co.uk/episodes] Get James' latest EP "High Score Table" here 👉 https://jimthompson.bandcamp.com/album/high-score-table [https://jimthompson.bandcamp.com/album/high-score-table] ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Rambling in the Countryside 🏡 (feat. my daughter) [998]

Some podcast housekeeping is necessary in this episode, as I talk about current LEP news, moving into a house in the countryside, sketchy plans for episode 1000, an update on the scary story competition, final thoughts on the World Cup, and more.
