I also speak in a manner that is clear and easy to understand, so even if you are not a native English speaker you should still be able to enjoy my podcasts. In some of my podcasts I pant An Audio Picture. In this series of podcasts I take you on various journeys and I describe in detail what I see in order to help you build up your own mental image in your mind's eye.
