13: The Hobby

Isi & Mitch
About this episode

ANNOUNCEMENT: Easy English will be in Berlin for a meetup on the 27th April, alongside Easy German, Easy Polish & Easy Spanish. Go to https://www.easygerman.org/meetups to get your FREE ticket.

In this week's podcast, Mitch and Isi talk about the subject of hobbies. Did you know Isi used to be a synchronised swimmer? Or that Mitch was proficient in Taekwondo? Can you guess who of the two is a spreadsheet nerd? And who, embarrassingly admits to collecting sea glass?

We learn about dog friendly pubs in the UK, Isi's cycling related scars, Mitch's failed football career and the couples shared passion for music and sweaty gigs.
