About this episode

Do you remember Francesco Burgio? He was my guest in episode 10 of the first season of this show. We've still kept in touch and he's just sent me an incredible message from his new home in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He's doing great, his family is happy and still feels proud of his Italian accent. Way to go Francesco! Remember, this podcast is also your home!

Also, the title of today's episode celebrates the international day of the English Language, a day full of activities around the world to boost comprehension and proficiency in this beautiful language. For that reason, I decided to share a story I wrote many moons ago called "Blend of Two Worlds" when I was still a teenager. I hope you like it.
