“A Little English”播客

What if the stories in your English course could make you laugh? What if they could break your heart? What if you just had to know...what happens next? My name is Cooper, and I'm an English professor in Hiroshima, Japan. I love teaching, I love English literature, and I love podcasts. So, I decided to combine all three into this show! Each episode, I will read a short story in English. Some of them are famous, some not-so-famous. Some of them I even write myself. For example, I read stories by AA Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh), Ernest Hemingway, and Philip K Dick. I choose the stories carefully and read slowly, so they're easy to understand. After each story, there are three tiny lessons. Not too much, just A Little English.

    Forty Stories - "One"

    Happy New Year! Today I'm starting something totally new. It turns out there aren't many free stories for English students available, or at least not good ones. So, I'm writing the stories myself. My goal is to do forty of them in 2023. Do you think I can do it? In this episode, we meet a young man in love. He plans to get his this woman's attention with....Karaoke? With U2? Good luck, Ben!

    Forty Stories - "Sleigh Ride Together"

    Today we have a story about sledding. It's January and January is the best time to ride a sled down a hill. But it's also a story about family, and what it's like to have - or be - an older sibling. I really hope you enjoy it.

    Forty Stories - "Mustang"

    This is a very special story about a man, his Red 1967 Ford Mustang and his very first panic attack. It's also a story about marriage, and parents, and sisters. It's also occasionally kinda funny! Enjoy.

    Forty Stories - "Cold Feet"

    This is a story about the theater. It's about what it's like to be on the stage, with an audience staring at you, and...you aren't wearing any clothes. This is based on a real play, which is on Broadway right now, called "Take Me Out." I'm really very proud of this story, and I think it's the best one I've written so far. I hope you love it, too!

    Forty Stories - "Frog Pond"

    Forty Stories is back! It's another story by me, Cooper. Tonight we are going to take a trip to Boston Common and the Frog Pond. It's a very famous public skating rink in the middle of the city. And we are going to meet three very different ladies. And we'll do some skating.

    Forty Stories - "Flow"

    It's a story about ping-pong, and psychology. It's about trying to enter a flow state. But that's not what it's really about. It's about being a teenager. And trying to be cool. When girls are around. And maybe not doing such a good job. I think everyone has had a similar experience, don't you?

This is a story about people trying to do her cleaning and organizing method, but it doesn't go very well for them. We will explore the pros and cons of Kondo, and ask....how can we be happy?

    Forty Stories - "Great Blue Heron"

    This is the story that started A Little English. Before I even knew that there would be a podcast, I wanted to write fiction for students. This story introduces us to Sarah, who you will meet again. It also introduces Sarah to a great blue heron. Do you know what a great blue heron is? You should look up a picture of one before you listen to the story.....
