I've been mulling over, pondering over, thinking about three different topics and how I could possibly bring them together in one English listening podcast episode.

This is my attempt to do so.

Today, you'll hear about the concept of a doppelgänger, a look-alike of sorts, followed by a short exploration of extreme sports and the motivations that drive athletes to do these dangerous sports. To conclude, we'll learn about one of these athletes, the ocean marathon swimmer, Diana Nyad.

How are all three of these connected? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out!

What does all this have to do with learning English?

Discipline! Courage! We could all use more of it.

Keep in mind that there's also a connection to E32 of Hear You Go: A conversation with Fernanda.

Thanks for listening!

Catherine

P.S. Thanks, as always, to Amos the Transparent, for the theme music to Hear You Go.
