This is the first in a series of episodes about British comedy. This one is all about Ali G. First you'll find out everything you need to know about him, then we will listen to a clip from one of his comedy shows and I will explain everything that you hear so that you can understand it to the same level as a native speaker. You'll learn plenty of slang vocab, some features of a London dialect and more vocabulary relating to the theme of education. Please be aware that there is some explicit language and content in this episode, including adult themes such as sex and drugs. Click this link for vocabulary definitions, links and to watch the video of Ali G from this episode of the podcast. http://teacherluke.wordpress.com/2013/12/12/156-british-comedy-ali-g Thanks for listening ;)

Luke answers some common auto-completed questions from Google. Hi listeners. Do you know what "Google auto-complete" is? You know when you start to google something, like maybe 'why is Luke's English Podcast so awesome?' and when you type 'why is', Google completes your question with lots of options? Those options are 'auto-completes'. It's when Google predicts your search based on frequently asked searches. Try typing "why is" into Google. It will give you some options, like "why is the sky blue?" Some auto-completes are quite fascinating, because they make you think "why are people asking these crazy questions?" or "that's a good question - what's the answer?"

Some Google auto-completes are really deep, if you take the time to consider them. Have a look at this graphic, which was produced by xkcd http://xkcd.com/1256/ It is a montage of auto-completed questions from Google. I also posted the image on Facebook recently, herehttps://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153357182265508&set=pb.227129545507.-2207520000.1383244673.&type=3&theater Here's a link to the Adweek.com article about women's rights I mentioned too http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/powerful-ads-use-real-google-searches-show-scope-sexism-worldwide-153235 In this episode I decided to try giving my answers to these Google auto-complete questions. You can listen to my answers in this episode, but I'm also interested in your opinions and your findings from google searches. Your task while listening to this is to Google the questions and check the results. Are my answers correct? Leave a comment below to give me your opnions. I hope you enjoy the episode. Cheers, Luke
