What started as a passion project by our dedicated hosts, Daniel and Golnaz (later joined by Fey), ESL Talk quickly grew into a thriving community.
Over the past five years, weβve released over 100 episodes, featured a diverse range of guests including award-winning authors, published Ph.D. scholars, Nobel Prize winners, successful business leaders in education and ed tech, and the top 1% of English teaching social media creators.
Not only that, our podcast has been downloaded over 250,000 times, reflecting the incredible support and engagement from our listeners.
