「アメリカ人は肩こりしない」って本当?突然襲った激しい肩の痛みをきっかけに、日本人とアメリカ人の体の不調への向き合い方の違いが明らかに!湿布、銭湯、鍼治療...日本の自然療法 vs アメリカの化学薬品。そして謎の万能薬「タイガーバーム」とは一体何者?「日本人だけが肩こりになる」という都市伝説の真相を、リアルな体験談と文化比較でトモヤとアンドリアが徹底検証。
A librarian opens a book and finds a mysterious invitation scribbled on the back of a business card. Another discovers a child's letter to the Tooth Fairy, tucked into a book decades ago. What stories are left untold by these forgotten, makeshift bookmarks? Also: a "cumshaw artist" is the wily member of a military unit who knows the shortcuts of procuring something for all their buddies, whether it's food or a borrowed vehicle for the evening. Plus, a handy Russian saying translates as "The circus left, the clowns remain." Also, scroll the window down, case quarter, Johnny pump, getting on the binders, telltale sign, maximums vs. maxima, shm-reduplication, and a funny 19th-century saying about the local know-it-all. Wishing you many happy returns of the day!

Blue-collar jobs are making a comeback around the world. As white-collar office work loses some of its shine, skilled trades are attracting more people than ever before—with higher pay, job security, and newfound respect. But what’s driving this shift, and what challenges still face blue-collar workers today?
Skip Montreux and Samantha Vega dive into the rising popularity of blue-collar careers. They explore why young people are increasingly choosing trade roles over office jobs, how wages are changing, and what it all means for the global workforce.
Their conversation is a great learning resource if you want to build your English listening comprehension skills and expand your business vocabulary. Key points of their discussion include:
The definition and origins of ‘blue-collar’ jobs.
How attitudes toward skilled trades are changing.
Why blue-collar jobs are attracting more workers.
Factors behind the skilled trades shortage.

🎧 WitchTok Listening Comprehension Questions What reasons does Ayla Skinner give for why witchcraft feels empowering to her? (Hint: She mentions control, individuality, and how she lives her life.) According to the article, how has TikTok changed access to witchcraft and the way it's practised? (Learners should listen out for comparisons with how things were “years ago.”) What does Frankie Castanea say about the term ‘witch’ and how it's used across different cultures? (This checks understanding of inclusivity and how the term varies across traditions.) How is witchcraft perceived differently in Europe compared to Africa, according to Dr Isak Niehaus? (Pay attention to the contrast between healing and harmful uses, and secrecy vs. openness.) What does Ayla say about Hollywood and Disney’s portrayal of witches, and how does she contrast it with her own view? (This focuses on identifying opinions vs. stereotypes, and recognising intonation and nuance.) There’s no need to treat it like an exam, just keep an ear out to see if you can hear any information that could fit any of the questions.
