Here it is, finally! The long-awaited episode 1000. It has taken me weeks to finish this. If you listen, you will understand why it has taken so long! This is a celebration of this podcast after 17 years and 1000 episodes. It includes a lot of rambling, an interview with my brother, questions from friends and family, and the voices of various guests who have been on this podcast over the last few years. Also, regular interruptions from my daughter and all sorts of other random moments such as the sounds of dogs, woodpeckers, neighbours, and more! Thank you to all the LEPsters around the world and my guests for helping to make this achievement possible! ❤️Episode page 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/2026/08/12/episode-1000/PDF Transcript 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Episode-1000-Transcript-1.pdfLEP Premium 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/premiumFull LEP Episode Archive 👉 https://teacherluke.co.uk/episodesGet James' latest EP "High Score Table" here 👉 https://jimthompson.bandcamp.com/album/high-score-table Hosted on Acast.
