(17 min) Why I Started a Podcast About English Confidence | Richard Marshall

This is where it started. The first episode, recorded with man flu, no script, and no interest in following anyone's template for how a podcast should sound.

In this seventeen-minute introduction, confidence coach Richard Marshall explains why so many people who already speak English well still freeze when it matters, why the traditional grammar-heavy approach to language learning creates shame rather than confidence, and why connection will always matter more than perfection.

Unedited, unpolished, and completely honest about what this show is trying to do.

This is More Than Words, previously 'From Lost to the River', a weekly show about language, identity, and what it really takes to speak with confidence.
