In this engaging episode, hosts Edita Bandur (Business English Teacher) and Darko Mareš (Portrait Photographer) welcome David Price, Business Development Manager at Science Made Simple, who demonstrates the art of science busking - combining street performance with STEM education to make science accessible and exciting for public audiences.

David provides live demonstrations, from proprioception experiments to balloon physics, showing how everyday materials can create captivating educational experiences. Through his experience training science communicators and performing on streets across the UK, he illustrates how public engagement breaks down barriers between academic research and community understanding.

The conversation becomes particularly valuable when addressing the skills crossover between street performance and effective science communication, including handling hecklers, reading crowd energy, and adapting presentations for diverse audiences - lessons applicable far beyond science education.

Key moments:

• Live science demonstrations using simple, accessible materials
• The art of engaging public attention through street performance techniques
• Training scientists and educators to communicate beyond academic settings
• Inspiring stories from science outreach programs in schools and communities
• Practical and legal considerations for public science performances

In this reflective milestone episode, hosts Edita Bandur (Business English Teacher) and Darko Mareš (Portrait Photographer) celebrate over 50 episodes by sharing the reality of podcasting on the road, from hotel room recordings to beach setups, revealing the unglamorous truth behind their seemingly smooth live streams.

The hosts take listeners through their technical evolution, from their affectionately named "nice boy camera" to more sophisticated equipment, while demonstrating that gear upgrades don't solve all problems. Through candid stories of equipment failures, mobile recording challenges, and guest no-shows, they illustrate how adaptability matters more than perfect conditions.

The conversation becomes particularly valuable when discussing practical lessons learned about sound quality, backgrounds, camera angles, and audience engagement—knowledge gained through trial, error, and occasionally spectacular technical failures captured live.

Key moments:

• Evolution from basic to more sophisticated recording equipment (and why it didn't solve everything)
• Practical mobile podcasting setup strategies for traveling content creators
• Handling technical difficulties and equipment failures during live recordings
• Guest experiences with language barriers and camera anxiety
• The importance of sound quality over visual perfection in podcasting

A behind-the-scenes conversation perfect for aspiring podcasters, content creators curious about the reality of live streaming, and anyone who's ever wondered how much actually goes wrong before, during, and after those polished-looking episodes.
