1. What is LEP Premium?

Luke’s English Podcast Premium is my paid subscription service. In premium episodes I teach you vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Each episode has a PDF worksheet with exercises and full transcripts which you can download, use for self study or to read while you listen. Most episodes have video versions too.

You can unlock premium episodes by signing up to LEP Premium on Supercast and paying a small fee per month. (Prices below).

The best way to use LEP Premium is to add the episodes to any podcast app on your phone (Apple Podcasts, PocketCasts, Spotify etc), then you can listen, and find the links to get PDFs and video versions. It is easy to do this from your Supercast account after you sign up.

Click here to sign up to LEP Premium.


2. What is included in episodes of LEP Premium? How does it work?

Premium episodes include audio and video lessons from me about vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Every episode has a PDF transcript and worksheet.

The aim of my episodes is to help you learn to speak English like me.

Each episode series contains target language. I use my particular set of skills to help you understand, remember, use and pronounce this target language correctly.

Usually this target language is vocabulary which my guests or I have used in free episodes of the podcast. I also clarify grammar and help you develop your pronunciation to help you speak more fluently and understand native speakers more easily. There are also episodes in which I tell you stories and then use them to teach you English.

When you sign up to LEP Premium you can unlock all the previously published premium episodes (over 100 audio and video episodes at the time I write this) and all the new content which arrives each month.

The premium subscription also includes some videos published privately on YouTube and a 28-minute stand up comedy show by me –  filmed on stage in London in front of a live audience.


3. Is it all serious teaching, or do you have fun like in the normal episodes?

Both! I am serious about teaching English, but I think it is also important to have fun and to help you to laugh while you learn. So, yes, the episodes are fun as well as functional.


4. Is LEP Premium for beginners or elementary level learners? What’s the level of your premium episodes?

The premium content is not for beginners or elementary learners. The target language is suitable for intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced learners of English. It is target language which should help you break out of the intermediate plateau in various aspects of your English. There is also plenty of motivation, advice and fun in each episode.


5. How can I listen to premium episodes?

Listen with a podcast app on your phone (recommended)

First, sign up to LEP Premium, and then add the episodes to a podcast app on your phone (Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, PocketCasts, Spotify etc). This is also how to access links to the PDFs and video versions of some episodes.

Do not use the LEP App – it doesn’t function any more.


You can also listen on your computer on the Supercast website.

6. How often do you publish premium episodes?

I usually upload one premium series every month. One series typically includes 2 – 4 full episodes. Some series are longer with 8-10 episodes.

I also upload extra content, such as shorter pronunciation videos, throughout the year.

If I haven’t uploaded premium content for a while (over 1 month since the last series) it means that a new series is coming very soon and I am working hard to deliver it!


7. How long are the episodes?

Audio episodes are usually 30 – 60 minutes long, so they are slightly shorter than the free podcast.

The pronunciation episodes are usually about 20-30 minutes long.

There are also videos which are usually about 10 minutes long.

Some episodes might be a bit longer – such as P35 part 1, which is a special presentation.


8. Where are the PDFs? How can I get the PDFs?

PDFs for each episode are available in your podcast app while you listen. You will see links in the description. To find these PDF links you will need to add LEP Premium episodes to a podcast app on your phone. The PDF and video links are in the notes for each episode.

You can also download the PDFs from the show notes for each episode on your Supercast page https://lep.supercast.com


9. What is the price?

With Supercast there is one price for LEP Premium – €6 per month.

This includes:

  • Access to all premium episodes in the archive (now more than 200 premium episodes)
  • Access to all new premium content
  • PDF worksheets for each premium episode
  • Video versions of most premium episode
  • Access to the full features of the Supercast website, with comment sections and AMA episodes
  • Ad-free episodes of Luke’s English Podcast (no automatic advertising or sponsorship reads will appear in episodes*)

*except some old sponsorship announcements for previous sponsors italki, Spoken, BC English Tutors and Audible. These promos appear in old LEP episodes from the archive. I am currently removing these sponsorship promos from all the old episodes, which is a long process!

You can also sign up for ad-free episodes of Luke’s English Podcast for €3 per month. This option just removes all automatic advertising from the free episodes of Luke’s English Podcast, but it doesn’t give you access to the premium episodes.
