#316 Curious Minds Learn Faster with Alastair Budge

Alastair Budge from Leonardo English joined me for a casual chat about a variety of different topics.

Alastair has his own podcast called "English Learning for Curious Minds". In it, he covers all sorts of topics from space mining to population decline, while making content that helps English learners improve.

I found this concept so interesting, so I picked a few topics at random to chat about in our conversation today. We also talk about the importance of curiosity.

Today, you'll hear about fascinating inventors, admirable people, population decline, Ozempic, the shadow side, and much more.
