Dan Novak and Ashley Thompson host today’s Learning English podcast.

The program starts with Mario Ritter’s report on two Chinese workers who cut through the Great Wall to make, believe it or not, a shortcut.

From the United States, Gena Bennett talks about the difficulty facing Afghan immigrants in the country and Greg Stachel tells the story of a West Point capsule that yields some historic and rare coins.

Dan Novak takes us to Australia for a report about the country’s effort to give voice to members of the indigenous communities. And we end with an Everyday Grammar lesson in which John Russell and Jill Robbins discuss the topic of “artificial intelligence.”
