Hello and welcome to Mansion Interviews, a podcast created to improve your English, while at the same time giving me an excuse to talk to interesting people.

Paul Urwin

And this episode’s interesting person is Paul Urwin, who I was lucky to meet in person  at New Media Expo in April. NMX was very busy and hectic and full of stuff to do. I didn’t get the chance to spend as much time with Paul as I would have liked, so we decided to get on a Skype call and have an interview, which was great. Paul and I have several things in common; we are both originally from the UK, we both moved to Spanish speaking countries, we both have a background in business and we both now work as English teachers. And we both…….well, why not listen to the interview to find out more.
