    Hey there,

    At times reading the news is so depressing that it feels good coming in here.

    At esl podcast is like getting into a library. It is relaxing, quiet, a place of learning.

    No ads. Simple layout of the page, the nice ESL green logo. Knowing that Lucy or Jeff or Jessica might read this.
    It feels good.

    Night! thank you.
