About Our Podcast:

ESL Talk began its journey in 2021 with a simple mission: to provide valuable insights and resources for ESL teachers, English teachers, and online educators. 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, we’ve 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.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to delivering innovative strategies, practical techniques, and invaluable advice to help educators around the world elevate their teaching game.
