The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 35: Tales From Across the Pond
Wednesday Mar 02, 2016
Wednesday Mar 02, 2016
We are right chuffed to be joined this week by the Bearded Pods' very own Trevor Furlong, formerly of Scotland Yard and present acclaimed bassman of Teddy and the Bassman. In the first of what will hopefully be several appearances, our guest shares his experiences as a stranger in a not-terribly-as-strange-as-you'd-think land. Our talk ranges far and wide, touching Cockney rhyming slang, immigration culture shock and the lack thereof, imported television, subtle differences in humor, and more. Anglophiles like Carissa will not want to miss this episode.
After you finish here be sure to check out Trevor and Teddy's podcast, Teddy and the Bassman, another fine production found on the Bearded Pods Network.

The Lucky Ten Thousand - Episode 9: Internet Jargon

It's back to school this week, and we join in with a primer on internet jargon. Covering the sites you need to know to get started, the sites you need to know to avoid, and the slang which peppers dialogue across the web, consider this Internet 101. Carissa teaches Evan the very basics to some small degree of success.
Do you feel more like an internet tourist than a native? Here is your "dónde está la biblioteca" course. Are you an old-school 'netizen' (ugh) who speaks 'net like a milk tongue? Take a listen as a refresher, or just enjoy hearing someone else learn the language. More than any other so far, this show exemplifies what the Lucky Ten Thousand is all about: we don't judge or condemn you for not knowing; we just want to share.
Class is now in session!
