| 0:08.0 | com. Hello you're listening to Luke's English podcast this is Luke speaking I'm just |
| 0:15.4 | sitting here in my living room at the window at my desk got a candle burning to |
| 0:20.6 | kind of create the right atmosphere I've got some music playing in the background. |
| 0:24.0 | This is the first time I've done this, like sort of recorded a podcast while there's some music playing. |
| 0:29.0 | And I've decided to put on a kind of ambient music playlist on my computer. |
| 0:35.0 | Like I said, it's kind of an experiment really to see if I can create a slightly nicer atmosphere in one of the episodes. This one is going to be kind of a vocabulary episode really and one of those |
| 0:47.2 | natural ones where I just keep talking and talking on a particular subject and |
| 0:51.6 | we'll just see what bits of vocabulary come out of it. |

| 1:49.6 | I wonder if this will turn out to be like a really long episode it might do. |
| 1:53.0 | Who knows? |
| 1:54.0 | But you know some people say less is more but I don't really agree with that in this case. |
| 1:59.0 | I think more is more in fact so it could be quite a long episode but that's fine isn't it so there |
| 2:03.9 | will be lots and lots of vocabulary in this episode but it's not planned I |
