About this episode

In this episode of English Plus Podcast, Danny takes you on a thought-provoking journey through some compelling topics. We start by asking the bold question: Is it foolish to be a poet in the 21st century? We also delve into the classic proverb “Out of sight, out of mind,” exploring when it’s useful and when it might cause us to neglect what matters. Plus, we tackle the just-world hypothesis, discuss victim-blaming, and reflect on how building self-esteem is essential for personal growth. Join us for an engaging episode full of insights, reflection, and practical wisdom.
