Stolaroid Stories was initially intended to help adult learners of English improve their language skills through personal stories and photos (stories+polaroid). After 100 episodes, however, the podcast evolved into a show to help curious minds explore ideas and perspectives about writing in a second language, education, and self-development. Listen to the show for conversations with brilliant thinkers like Seth Godin, unscripted rambles, and (sometimes) rants. Hosted by Fabio Cerpelloni, a non-native English speaker from Italy turned English writer and teacher. -- www.fabiocerpelloni.com
