You're listening to Luke's English Podcast. For more information, visit teacherluke.co.uk. Hello listeners, welcome back to Luke's English Podcast. How are you doing today? I hope you're doing well. So this is a bonus episode and it's all about the FIFA World Cup 2026. This is a preview of the upcoming Football World Cup and a kind of football mega ramble. I'll be talking about football and the World Cup for the, well, for the foreseeable future, for however long this takes.
There's a for this bonus episode, which you will find links in the description. And we're going to start with a disclaimer, okay? This is a bonus midweek episode all about the Football World Cup 2026. If you are not a football fan, please feel free to skip this episode, okay? I think this will be the first in a short series of bonus episodes over the next few weeks about the World Cup, which I will upload in addition to the normal episodes that you get from me. So these World Cup episodes are in addition to the normal run of this podcast. So you'll keep getting normal episodes every Monday. But then sometimes I'll upload another bonus episode during the World Cup and maybe another one at the end. So we might end up with two, three, possibly four World Cup episodes, but bonus episodes in addition to your normal podcast content.
I love the World Cup. And I like to do World Cup episodes when the tournament is happening. Long-term listeners might remember all the different World Cups that I've covered on this podcast in the past. About football, I don't actually support a local team in England. But I've always been most excited about World Cup football. And every four years when the World Cup comes around, I get that sense of World Cup fever. And I feel like I am a 13-year-old boy again with his Panini sticker album, collecting stickers, swapping stickers in the playground at school and trying to complete all the different teams and all that stuff. I just absolutely loved it. So World Cup football is my favourite type of football.
However, I know this is not for everyone because plenty of you are not interested in football and I don't want to pause my normal episode schedule in order to exclusively do episodes about football during June and July. I want to keep uploading episodes normally on Mondays and I have a lot in the pipeline. But I also want to do episodes about the World Cup, even just two or three. So these are going to be bonus episodes released midweek between normal episodes and also premium episodes. So it might seem like a busy time in your LEP podcast feed as quite a lot of episodes arrive over the next few weeks, especially if you're a premium subscriber because you already get quite a lot of stuff. So it might seem busy.
But if you're into football and the World Cup, then I hope you join me and also get involved with your... comments which I can respond to in later episodes I would love for you to comment on these episodes right I've got various questions for you to answer coming up but one more time if you're not interested in the football then as I said please feel free to just walk on by and skip this episode and on Monday there will be another normal episode on a completely different topic in In fact, Monday's episode will be me reading from a diary I wrote while I was travelling in Vietnam. So there's a sneak preview for Monday's episode, a sort of travelling diary reading ramble. Right, so here's the proper introduction then for this episode after I did that, after I've now done that disclaimer, right?
So I suppose... The only people left listening to this now are the ones who like football and like the World Cup. And if you if you're not in that football fan category and you've chosen to stick with me anyway, well, let's see.
