E79: Join us for a nostalgic trip down memory lane with Martin, host of the Rock n' Roll English podcast. We kick off the episode exploring Martin's journey into podcasting and his show's unique name. As the conversation progresses, the spotlight shifts onto the ever-changing landscape of the British high street. We compare notes on our favourite high street shopping experiences at home and overseas, and examine the impact of online shopping and the Covid-19 pandemic on local businesses. Expect some thought-provoking insights as we delve into the surge of new stores like hairdressers, nail salons, vape shops, and mobile phone repair shops, a clear reflection of changing habits amongst the younger generation.?
