This is the first of our 'Bonus Episodes'. Alongside the main English Waffle episodes we are going to produce extra conversations and content (See the Waffle Bites mini series). These are our own little side projects which give us the opportunity to explore ideas that we find interesting.

In this first bonus episode, Owain talk to Artem. Find out who Artem is and sign up as a member or subscribe to get access to extended analysis of the conversation.

Owain & Mike get topical this time. We have noticed we're in the middle of a crisis so this time we're going deal with the issues. In this hard-hitting, no punches-pulled look at...Sorry! I can't carry on with that. We're going to talk about reactions to Coronavirus but not in the way you might expect. Listen to Mike's anecdote and my reaction to find out what this is all about.

In the this new mini series, Mike talks to his colleague, Kate. In this episode they focus on 'how often'. Listen to the conversation to find out about Kate's habits.

Mike & Owain talk about idioms from the English language. Listen as they test each others' knowledge not only about what these phrases mean but also where they come from, their origins (listen for my terrible pronunciation of this word, but don't copy me!)

So, find out what 'bog standard' means and how we use it? Listen for the second idiom as well which includes the words 'push' and 'shove'. Have you heard them before? Are these expressions that you think you could use?

In this episode, Mike and Owain talk about car boot sales. If you haven't heard of these, you should definitely listen to find out. If you have, listen to hear Owain tell us an exciting story about 'mixed messages' and to hear Mike demonstrate that he's a real cheapskate (meaning: a person who is unwilling to spend money).

There's also more about a new feature on The EW (English Waffle) website, which you can find here: https://englishwaffle.co.uk/

In this episode, Owain and Mike do some catching up. After the summer break, there is plenty to talk about. They play a game where they have to guess the meaning of the words or phrases each of them have selected. The words or phrases are relevant to what they're doing now and their plans for the English Waffle.
