Bedside ReadingTurn the Ship AroundSend us a textA warm welcome back to GP, educator and YouTube sensation, Dave Hindmarsh. Today we are going to be talking about Turn the Ship Around, which is a really interesting book about leadership. Don't switch off if you're not interested in leadership, there is so much here that is transferable. And the thing I really enjoyed about To Turn the Ship Around is that it is not a book that is telling you what to do. It is somebody reflecting on their own experiences, somebody thinking about failure, about intelligent failures, thinking about...2024-08-0634 min
Steve's EnglishIntimations of ImmortalityWilliam Wordsworth first published "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" in his 1807 collection Poems, in Two Volumes.
Often considered one of Wordsworth's greatest masterpieces, this poem explores some of the themes that haunted Wordsworth across his whole career: childhood, memory, nature, and the human soul.
The poem's speaker remembers that, when he was a child, he saw the whole world shining with heavenly beauty, and wonders where that beauty has gone now he's an adult.
While he can never get that kind of vision back, he
concludes, he can still build his...2024-06-1914 minSteve's EnglishAlice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter 6 Pig and PepperWelcome to Steve's English Podcast

This is chapter five of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.
“Who are you?” said the Caterpillar.
This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times sinc...2024-03-1720 min
Steve's EnglishWorld News Edition - Nuclear FusionNuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion has fascinated scientists for decades.
The process could provide virtually unlimited energy on Earth, but it's proving to be very challenging for scientists.
Dozens of universities and governments are racing to produce a limitless source of energy with no carbon emissions. Nuclear fusion is very different from nuclear fission, so scientists don't need to wear radioactive protection. Unlike nuclear fission, which powers hundreds of power stations around the world, nuclear fusion isn't commercially available.
The process occurs in every star in every galaxy in the
universe, and...2024-03-1404 min

It was the White Rabbit, trotting slowly back again, and looking anxiously about as it went, as if it had lost something; and she heard it muttering to itself “The Duchess! The Duchess! Oh my dear paws! Oh my fur and whiskers! She’ll get me executed, as sure as ferrets are ferrets!

CHAPTER 3A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale
They were indeed a queer-looking party that assembled on the
bank—the birds with draggled feathers, the animals with their fur clinging close to them, and all dripping wet, cross, and uncomfortable.
The first question of course was, how to get dry again: they
had a consultation about this, and after a few minutes it seemed quite natural to Alice to find herself talking familiarly with them, as if she had known them all her life. Indeed, she had q...2024-01-1715 min

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getti...2023-08-3018 min
