This article is at least a year old
Industry-leading podcast platform for top content creators and hit shows, Glassbox Media, has announced today the acquisition of an original inclusive hit podcast series called Easy Stories in English. Hosted by non-binary and polyglot language teacher Ariel Goodbody, the show brings 173 episodes and has successfully secured an impressive 500K+ monthly downloads to the Glassbox Media platform. Easy Stories in English paves a new and nonconventional path for ESL learners to digest short stories that are hilarious, dramatic, entertaining, but never too difficult, and that are carefully adapted to various levels of English.
“I know first-hand how frustrating it can be to try and learn a language through traditional resources, so as a teacher I’ve always strived to make the classroom a playful and welcoming space,” said Ariel Goodbody, Easy Stories in English creator and host. “When I had the idea of starting a podcast, it seemed obvious to combine my love of writing with my teaching ideals. Writing in graded language with an international audience provides unique challenges, so I’m excited to be partnering with Glassbox and reach even more people around the world.”
Presenting a new way to listen to a podcast series in its entirety, each episode’s difficulty level is identified in the name, directing listeners to choose based on their language level, increasing difficulty as they gain expertise in English. Some of the most recent episodes include:
“The Glassbox team is thrilled to partner with Ariel and the wonderful podcast, Easy Stories in English,” said David Segura, Glassbox Media CEO & Co-Founder. “The show is modern, unique, and relevant to multiple generations and markets - and ultimately proves alternative ways of learning work, and can do so without being costly. Easy Stories in English has already added 500K monthly downloads to Glassbox Media’s slate of podcasts, we can’t wait to keep listening and watch the show grow.”
