Prince Charles, The Louvre Theft & The Beatles | Luke Thompson’s 2025 Update

In this wide-ranging conversation with Luke Thompson from Luke’s English Podcast (@LukesEnglishPodcast),⁩ we talk about everything from King Charles and the British Royal Family to the Paris 2024 Olympics, to an audacious art theft at the Louvre, and, of course, The Beatles.

It’s 90 minutes of thoughtful, funny, and very British English conversation — perfect for anyone learning English or who just enjoys unusual chats about culture, language, and (to a lesser degree) France.

Luke also shares book recommendations for English learners, explains why Catcher in the Rye still matters, and reflects on how reading and humour can help you sound more natural in English. And don't worry, Prince Andrew hardly gets a mention....
