Summary
761. Why we love The Beatles (Recorded Live at The British Council) + Public Speaking Tips
This is a presentation I did at the British Council in Paris recently, in front of a live audience. First I talk about public speaking and my approach to doing presentations and then you can hear the recording of my talk. The Beatles were a global phenomenon when they first appeared in the 1960s and their appeal continues to this day. The world still loves The Beatles. But why is this? Join me as I take a deeper look at the social, cultural and psychological factors that make The Beatles story so compelling even after all these years.

| 0:00.0 | Hello listeners welcome back to Luke's English podcast here we are another day another |
| 0:05.6 | new podcast episode let's keep calm and carry on shall we so this is episode number 761 and most of this one was recorded live at the British |
| 0:17.6 | Council in Paris in front of an audience of people. I think this is the first podcast I've ever recorded with a live |
| 0:25.2 | audience there and it sounds a bit different because you can hear the audience reacting to things I'm |
| 0:30.0 | saying and there are some moments of interaction with the crowd and some jokes and stuff |
| 0:35.3 | so I hope you enjoy it. As you may know I teach English to classes of adults at the British |
| 0:41.1 | Council in Paris but also we have some extra events there in the |
| 0:45.7 | evening. The talk that you can hear me doing in this episode was one of those |
| 0:49.4 | extra events and I'm hoping to do more of this kind of thing in the future, |
| 0:54.7 | podcasting in front of a live audience. |

| 1:19.0 | Sometimes people ask me if I'm available for private lessons and unfortunately my answer to that |
| 1:26.4 | question is usually no because I've just decided that I spend my time making episodes of my podcast and teaching group classes in the real world, so to speak, sort of in a classroom. |
| 1:41.0 | So if you wanted lessons with me you would need to be in Paris, which is where I live of course, |
| 1:48.0 | and you'd need to become a student at the British Council there or here using the normal registration process and then just |
| 1:56.2 | hope that you end up in one of my classes. |
| 1:58.2 | So really if you know if you wanted to be one of my students you'd actually have to come to the |
| 2:02.4 | school where I work and sign up and hope to get me |
