Thinking Out Loud: Recent Episodes
studiomentals.com
A podcast IN English (not ABOUT English!) for our learners. In each episode Jedrek and Masha explore two everyday concepts to promote a new kind of conversation experience. Clever conclusions are of secondary importance because this podcast promotes reflection and courage, not definite answers. We just hope you will find our language and our line of thinking easy to follow ;) If you want to THINK OUT LOUD and experience the pleasure coming from exploring concepts, you can join our classes at www.studiomentals.com or be our guest on this show.

Hi Thinkers!
This week we're considering whether cities have souls and what does that actually mean? What makes up the soul of a place? Why excessive migration and tourism kill the character of a city? Aside from that there is a small talk about the secrets of cycling and the age-old question about the difference between teaching online and offline. Thanks for listening!

Hi Thinkers!
This week it's just the two of us, your hosts, and our conversation revolves around education. We are talking about the future of education, which is also the theme of our newsletter this week. With linguistic barriers largely destroyed by technology, there will be only intrinsic motivation left for learning languages. How will this impact education? We mention the lastest book by Ethan Mollic "Co-Intelligence" We mention the reform of the French education system about to take place in France, where students are going to be segregated into good and bad groups. Will this be effective? Why are schools left-leaning? How does that trend progress? And why being a leftist you have to side with Palestine? This and much more in this week's episode of your favourite podcast.

Hi Thinkers!
This week we have an enormous pleasure hosting Alona, a psychologist who is joining us from Greece. We're not wasting any minute of this meeting bombarding her with questions: does language hijack our soul? How does it feel like leaving your beloved city? Why do professional athletes seem so mature even if they are barely over 20? What is burnout doing with us? What is the difference between a stickler and a perfectionist? How much does childhood shape us? What are the chances of taking self-confidence shaped in a classroom outside of it?

Hi Thinkers!
We're back with another spontaneous conversation between Masha and Jedrek. What is the difference between teaching Ju-Jitsu and English? Is there an equivalent of a native speaker in martial arts? How to find courage to teach your way without looking at others? In the subject of courgage we mention two French journalists Dora Moutot i Marguerite Stern (start at 33:17), the authors of Transmania, who were not afraid to speak their mind.

Hi Thinkers!
This Labor Day we have the honor of hosting Agata, the very same Agata who you may know from out newsletter and her column "The Bright Side of Life?"
We start in the middle of nowhere, inspired by the PC game Classified France '44 and the potential issues with localization of such a title in Germany. We try to tread carefully not to be politically incorrect.
Agata is a former Taekwondo instructor and a buddying kickboxer, and we discuss the difference. She had also spent some time working at the airport in Munich and this last occupation is a gateway to discussing human nature and how humans can humanize the system by bending the rules, or be transformed into machines by blindly following the rules.

Hi Thinkers!
Masha and Jedrek are going to Japan, just like the Simpsons, except our stay there is purely virtual and so less prone to disasters. we are joined by Martyna who is based in Nagano (or nearby) and who is living her Japanese dream. We interview her about life in Japan. She's telling us a lot of interesting things, but most surprising and paradoxicall of all is how she found herself at the other end of the world, feeling completely free in this otherwise hermetic society.

Hi Thinkers!
Each Sunday we're sending out our newsletter called "In The Same Boat" because we're really in the same boat when it comes to learning English. Subscribe here: https://tolpodcast.substack.com/
And now: loneliness is quietly becoming an epidemic with Japan and UK appointing ministers to deal with the problem. There are economic, technological and metaphysical reasons behind this trend but we are looking at it through our teachers' eyes, trying to find out whether it's possibile to communicate with a machine and build a community with it. One of the lastest episodes of The Ezra Klein Show (Masha's fav podcast) leaves little doubt about it (listen to the conversation with Ethan Mollick) leaving Jedrek in a difficult spot before the upcomming Innovate ELT Conference. But even so, is a clever chatbot a solution to the problem of loneliness more than anti-depressants are to the problem of depression?
We are mentioning an essay by Matthieu Chaigne "La Fabrique des Solitares", William Deresiewicz's collection of essays "The End Of Solitude" as well as Kazuo Ishiguro's "Klara And The Sun" with the conclusion that we are dealing with a cultural shift not merely technological.

Hi thinkers!
Our newsletter is being read by over 150 people weekly and the number keeps rising; check out why!
As for this episode, we're two English teachers who rise and grind! š¤£This week we're talking about motivation at large: the shallow one and the deep one. Why the video "Rise and Grind" or the Holstee posters seem shallow to Jedrek? What is the difference between a platitude and a deep thought? We analyze several words of wisdom. Next we're mentioning the latest book by WIll Storr "The Status Game" and Jedrek has some doubts whether status is our ultimate motivator. And later we end up discussing a matter relevant to Masha and her first book-in-the-making: why would anyone like to quit a paradise out of their own will and what is the value in persevering?

And now: episode 89: Unfrotunately the rumor about Elon musk joining our show was April Fool's prank. This week Masha comes back to Jedrek's text in the 9th issue of our newsletter and asks about the details of Jedrek's linguistic transformation after taking part in his first international conference (innovate ELT in Barcelona btw.) She asks Jedrek about clarifications, and what exactly had changed in his approach to speaking English, and then, suddenly at around 40:45 a fascinating conversation starts about being yourself and whether being yourself is how you make a good impression during meetings, job interviews or first dates? Or is it better to pretend?

Hi Thinkers!We have a newsletter for all of you who would like to keep in touch with English in between classes. Original texts (no AI generated content!), phrases of the week, stories from our subscribers, a carefully selected song of the week (with lyrics), some jokes and a bunch of recommendations on what to read, watch and listen to in English. Visit now: https://tolpodcast.substack.com/And now for the episode number 88! We are two English teachers who... have never met in person (offline), that is true. This episode starts with the reflection on meeting people from the virtual world in real world. 06:28 What follows is a 20 minutes' long rant section where Jedrek's complains about the price and purpose of dental care, and Masha 16:42 is adding her small rant about the cost of raising children and buying products made for children, including water for children. Next Jedrek 23:34 is breaking exciting news about the upcoming Innovate ELT Conference in Barcelona.And when the ranting finally dies down 26:18 the duo head to the Thinking Out Loud proper, where the question is: what is the difference between having a cold heart and keeping cold blood. Does a cold heart actually pump cold blood? We mention Truman Capote's book "In Cold Blood", western movies, acting in affect, crying on Titanic with Di Caprio, Jedrek's wife, woking in a morgue, having a thick skin, "Straight Story" by David Lynch, dangerous situations on a highway, special forces and the upcoming 100th episode of the ToL podcast.

Hi thinkers!
First things first: you don't want to miss out newsletter. Each Sunday morning our team of teachers and learners prepare a set of original texts and recommendations (including really cool music!) sign up!
And now, this week's episode is finally about taste. The concept has been haunting us ever since Ezra Klein talked about it on his show, and later Jedrek read the lastest book by Kyle Chayka "Filterworld" which mentions taste, curators and tastemakers - all relevant to our discussion. How does taste develop? Do we have good taste? What is the difference between being against and being different? Can mass products have taste? This and so much more in our conversation this week.

And now for this week's episode: Jedrek and Masha discuss in the introduction how painful writing really is, and what is good writing anyway; and in the main part (aka Thinking Out Loud Proper) Masha is facing the difference and the relationship between high self-esteem and big ego. What is the best way to build your self-esteem without inflating at the same time our ego?

Hi Thinkers!
Each Sunday we're curating a special newsletter to make sure the English you consume is meaningful! Sign up, we're on substack.
But this week on ToL we sat down with Maciek, who is revisiting our podcast one year later (check out his linguistic progress!), to talk about the technical aspects of listening to podcasts (why does he stick to Pocket Casts, what it's like to listen at a pace higher than 1.0 etc), and since Maciek is a heavy user of various Iphone apps (well over 200 on his devices) we're asking him about social media, and how toxic (if at all?) does he find Twitter (now X) and Instagram.
Maciek has been a good spirit of this podcast all along, and recently he has been running āthe phrase of the weekā in our newsletter where he is sharing phrases from his legendary notbook with English phrases. Now you have a chance to get to know him even better!

Hi Thinkers!
Did you know we have moved with our newsletter to Substack? It's a weekly dose of motivation, inspiration and education in English, you simply can't miss it.
And now to this week's episode which announces itself really great because we're hosting Julia, a teenager from Poland, who is telling us about her experience with homeschooling, dissipating by the way a lot of myths surrounding it: what is her workload? How's her social life? What does it take to succeed etc. And in the second part of our show, a.k.a the Thinking Out Loud Proper, we're asking Julia who is a better decison maker: the heart or the brain? Mature way above her age, Julia deals with the question in a brilliant manner both intellectually and linguistically. This is simply a must listen ;)
Julia came to study with us already very strong, so we can't say she's the product of our teaching, but the way we teach is pretty much what you can hear in the podcast: we work on your language, your intellect and overall communication skills, so don't hesitate to visit our website and get in touch with us.

Sign up to our newsletter at tolpodcast.com before we grow and become impersonal and indifferent. But till it happens we're small and we care!
Now, this week it's just the two of us and we talk about the concept of hard work: is hard work linked with high salary? Does it lead to a job well done? How does it differ from difficult work? Masha is kicking this concept down the road sparking a lot of reflections.
Also on the show: we're talking about the lastest gizmo from apple - the Apple Vision Pro, and how cool it would be to have English classes in virtual reality.
Btw. The cover for this epsiode is almost the same like for the previous episode, but Masha says there's a deeper meaning to it in the context of hard work ;)

And now, let's talk about the current episode: Maciek Olszowy, our very special guest this week, is an entrepreneur, a podcaster (yay!), a father and an occasional practitioner of the Vipassana meditation technique. We start out asking about what it's like not to speak to anybody for 10 days, what is meditation for, is an ancient India's meditation suitable for Westerners and their monkey brain (Jedrek especially!), and ultimatelly what does it mean to waste time? Is watching TV a waste of time? Is not achieveing results a waste of time? A fascinating conversation in one word! (+Maciek's English just rocks!)

Hi Thinkers!
Is Thinking Out Loud more on the fun side of the podcast scene or is it more serious? You'll find the answer in the intro before we jump straight to round 2 (that's right!) to discuss the difference between citizens and mere population. What seems like a pretty straightforward question for Jedrek, turns out to be a gateway to a much more serious conversation about the rights and duties of citizens. Anyway, we hope that despite the caliber of the topic it's still fun listening to us! ;)

This is the end! The end of our podcasting in 2023 but fear not, we are coming back in 2024 :)
In this end-of-the-year episode we are looking into the future and discuss top trends in education previewed for the next year (found on some random website).
We are doing this, as always, with a pinch of salt, smelling a rat in everything we find on the interent.
We didn't need a separate school subject to develop this skill and we're advocating schools don't need it either as long as they do their job properly.
Big thanks for staying with us (or discovering us) this year, it has been great knowing you are listening!
We are taking a little break now and come back in the second week of January 2024.

Hi Thinkers!
This week on the show we're worndering what's good about the world we live in. Given we have been either whining, ranting or cursing lately, this time around (for once!) we're trying to be grateful and see the good sides of modern life and modern technology. We're hosting Kasia, our absolutely special guest who is live in Jedrek's studio. Listen to learn how the two got to know each other, and what it's like to have English classes inside Jedrek's famous, ex-bathroom, office. Together with Masha we're discussing life before disposable Pamers diapers, being 7 and taking care of a 1-year old sister, emigrating to France without a cellphone (not to mention a smartphone!). The trio compares different Polish and Ukraininan Christmas and New Year traditions, and last but not least, pick their favorite X-mas songs.

Hi thinkers!
This week Jedrek and Masha dive into the intriguing realms of asceticism and minimalism. The duo navigates through diverse topics, drawing connections between Mark Zuckerberg's wardrobe choices, the allure of a capsule wardrobe, Apple's iconic minimalistic design, and the striking minimalism found in Tyrell Corporation's interiors from Blade Runner 2049.
Adding a personal touch, Masha shares her experiences from a newly embarked writing course, unveiling how it contributes to her growth as both a writer and reader. The hosts also take a moment to reflect on the relevance of historical knowledge and art history in shaping the skills of modern painters and writers.
At the forefront of technological advancements, Jedrek and Masha discuss the latest developments in virtual avatars, citing the example of the recently created avatars by the rock band Kiss. The episode kicks off with a fascinating exploration of the potential role of such avatars in the realm of education - a whimsical idea that sparks curiosity.

Hi Thinkers!This week we delve into the murky waters of social media, with a particular focus on Instagram. Labeling it as one of the most polluted platforms, Jedrek dissects the rampant scams and deceptive offers that mimic the tactics of TV shopping networks. The conversation takes a philosophical turn as Jedrek draws parallels with Yanis Varoufakis's latest book, "Technofeudalism." He eloquently discusses the book's premise that we are entering a new era where traditional profit models are obsolete, and the majority are unwittingly serving a new class of capitalists, enriching them in their slumber.There's also the good old segment called "Thinking Out Loud Proper," where Masha tackles a thought-provoking question about the nature of good listeners. Challenging the common assumption that silence equates to good listening, Masha shares her unique and insightful perspective on what truly defines a good listener. This episode is not just a critique of modern digital landscapes but also a journey into understanding human interactions in this new age.Listeners interested in the intersection of technology, society, and personal development will find this episode both enlightening and thought-provoking. Jedrek and Masha continue to challenge the norms, offering fresh perspectives on topics that resonate with everyone navigating the complex world of digital media and human communication.Visit our website: https://tolpodcast.comPractice your English with us! https://studiomentals.comSupport us financially! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/toldAnd last but not least... leave us your feedback! https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mentals/message--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mentals/message
Hi Thinkers!
Jedrek and Masha commemorate a remarkable milestone - their second anniversary! As the podcast steps into its third year, it continues to thrive as a unique, 'local' platform, where 'local' signifies the special bond and direct interaction they maintain with their listeners. In this celebratory episode the duo delves into thought-provoking discussions that resonate with English learners and educators alike.
As seasoned teachers, Jedrek and Masha spark an engaging debate: Can an internet-famous 'superstar' teacher ever replace the personalized touch of a local school teacher? They extend this intriguing comparison to the medical field, pondering if the same principle applies to doctors. The episode takes a deeper turn as they explore the concept of 'the good life' and its profound significance in the realm of education. Through their dialogue, they reveal how their teaching methodologies, even if subtly, are rooted in this philosophy - a revelation Jedrek recently uncovered while analyzing his extensive database of questions.
Although it's challenging to encapsulate the essence of the Thinking Out Loud podcast in a few sentences, this episode offers listeners a comprehensive view of their work, teaching methodology, and philosophy. With over 60 episodes, the podcast stands as a testament to their dedication to providing meaningful, understandable content for English learners.

Hi Thinkers!
This episode offers a refreshing and thought-provoking perspective on education, catering to learners and everyone interested in the broader scope of educational systems, not just linguistic education. Jedrek and Masha, two English teachers who position themselves outside the traditional education industry, delve into the shortcomings of the current educational paradigm. They argue that the narrow view of education prevalent today fails to harness humanity's greatest strength ā the ability to integrate knowledge broadly.
A highlight of the podcast is Jedrek's insightful review of the latest book by Rob Howard and Andrzej StÄsik, "One to One," which adds a valuable dimension to the discussion. Furthermore, Jedrek critically examines the concept of General English (a.k.a English For Nebulous Purposes) echoing sentiments from Geoff Jordan and the team behind the Learn Your English podcast, Jedrek debates the potential fading of this approach from curriculums, yet firmly believes in its critical importance for holistic education.
Jedrek also addresses a crucial aspect of teaching: the need for a balanced needs analysis. He passionately argues that educators must transcend merely serving what students want and instead focus on what they genuinely need for comprehensive learning. This thought-provoking stance challenges listeners to reconsider the essence of effective teaching and the true responsibilities of educators.

Hi Thinkers!
In this week's engaging episode, Jedrek and Masha return for another insightful conversation. As the autumn season descends upon us, our perspectives may lean towards the pessimistic and gloomy side. However, it's no surprise, considering both hosts reside in regions facing conflict or high terrorist alerts, all while grappling with the ever-present fear of artificial intelligence. Nevertheless, we aim to illuminate a glimmer of hope in our hearts, and we believe it shines through in this episode.
Masha introduces a thought-provoking discussion on justice and revenge, while Jedrek delves into the tragic aftermath of Germany post-World War II. Join us for this unique podcast experience filled with meaningful conversations, all hosted by non-native speakers.

Listen to our interview with Solange, who claims to speak "petrolium English" but, as you will soon find out, she's much more competent than that ;) Ultimately, we are going to discuss the concept of luxury with her, and we'll ask her who has (or had) a more comfortable life - a medieval king or us today. But before we get there, we are going to spend some time in South Africa, Solange's favorite tourist destination ;)

Hi Thinkers!
This week Jedrek and Masha are finally hosting someone from Romania! :) Julie is a former English teacher, now a teacher-trainer based in Bucharest, Romania. Having spend a good deal of time in the UK, she's back and she has only good things to say about her country and the Eastern Europe in general. Julie is not afraid of AI and it disruptive potential, saying that people will forever need their Julies and Mashas to interact with. A comforting point of view! ;) The fear of AI results also from a very westernized view of education and it's far from being worldwide. Last but not least, she compares teaching to training, our immortal question ;)

Listen in if you're interested in how he manages to combine these two areas, and also if you are curious:

2) how could history be used to combat the present wave of fake news?
3) what is the difference between history and the past?
4) what's the universal formula for world peace?

Hi Thinkers!
This week it's just the two of us, Jedrek and Masha, but we hope you are going to enjoy the conversation that starts with some stats about our podcast and how international it has become, next we're discussing the legendary efficiency of the Scandinavial system of education (English in particilar), the potential of commercializing our show by advertising to you some big apps like Busuu, Duolingo, Memrise or Quizlet. And last but certainly not least, in the thinking out loud proper, Jedrek is asking Masha whether it's easier to get rich or to get wise, and whether the concept of 'easy money' exists for real? What has keeping a journal and greenwashing to do with all this? Listen to our conversation to find out ;)

Jacek is a very popular teacher of French who is running a small language attelier in the very heart of Paris (https://parolerie.paris/en/home-page/). We are asking him about the transition from Warsaw to Paris, about the impostor sundrome and what's left of it, and last but certainly not least we're asking him about the difference between popularity and fame, since the number of followers he's got on instagram easily tops 150k.

Hi Thinkers! We're always on the lookout for some interesting non-native English speakers and if we find them at an airport, so be it ;) That is the case of MichaÅ who is joining us from the CDG Airport in Paris, to answer our burning question about the difference between Culture and Civilization: which comes first? Do we all belong to one, global civilization today or are there still more civilizations on our planet? France has just witnessed several nights of violence after the tragic death of young Nahel. Are the rioters dangerous for the culture or civilization? This and so much more while MichaÅ was waiting for his plane home.

Hi thinkers! There is a lot happening in this episode: after a brief discussion about how the second language is learnt, Masha and Jedrek jump into two wide discussions: the first one is about additctions and dependencies (how to tell them apart?), and the second one is about the thin line between naivety and stupidity: How much should you know in order not to be considered stupid? Is there any basic level of knowledge we should attain in our modern world? Should we know the capital cities of some remote countries? Why?Ā This and loads more in this week's Thinking Out Loud.
