It was officially launched back in 2005, and over the past two decades it has completely transformed the way we use the internet. Today, over 2.5 billion people use YouTube every single month. Every minute, over 500 hours of video are uploaded. From funny cat videos to political debates, from educational content to viral dance trends… YouTube has become one of the most powerful platforms in the world. But what was the internet like before YouTube? How did it grow so fast? What impact has it had on culture, education, and even the way we learn English? And what might happen next? In today's episode of Thinking in English, we'll explore the history and influence of YouTube over the past 20 years. I'll talk about life before YouTube, the story behind its creation, how it's changed the world, and its potential future. And of course, I'll share some tips and advice for English learners, because YouTube can be one of the best tools to help you improve your language skills… if you know how to use it properly!

And perhaps no historical figure better represents this idea than Winston Churchill. To many people, especially in the UK and the West, Churchill is a national hero. He is the man who led Britain through its darkest hour in World War Two. His speeches are iconic, his image is legendary, and his name is often linked to courage, resilience, and freedom. But not everyone sees him this way. To others, Churchill was a symbol of empire, colonialism, and racism. A man whose decisions caused suffering for millions. He is a hero to some, a villain to others. In today's episode of Thinking in English, we're going to ask a difficult question: Was Winston Churchill a hero… or a villain? We'll look at his achievements, examine the darker parts of his legacy, and explore why his reputation remains so controversial today. And as always, I'll encourage you to think critically and form your own opinion, while learning some new vocabulary!

What is the biggest threat to free speech at the moment? Is it censorship? Or is it misinformation? In order to talk about free speech, and many other topics, we need to understand and know how to use paired conjunctions. Paired conjunctions are very useful. They allow us to connect words, phrases, or ideas together, and are always used in pairs.

Is it eight… or nine? For a long time, children around the world were taught that our solar system had nine planets, including a small, distant one named Pluto. But in 2006, Pluto was reclassified. It was no longer considered a “real” planet, and the official number of planets dropped to just eight. Why did this happen? Why was Pluto removed from the list of planets? And what exactly is a planet anyway? In today's episode of Thinking in English, we'll look at what a planet actually is, why Pluto used to be a planet but isn't anymore, and how science changes over time. We'll also talk about the history of planet discoveries, like Neptune and Uranus, and how our understanding of the solar system has developed. This episode is also a great chance to learn scientific vocabulary and practice thinking critically in English. We'll explain important terms like orbit, gravity, dwarf planet, and clearing its orbit. And we'll discuss some fascinating facts about space, science, and the nature of definitions themselves. So… is Pluto really a planet? Or not? Let's find out.

Antonio Reynoso is Brooklyn's 20th Borough President.

In his first year in office, Borough President Reynoso set an ambitious goal to make Brooklyn the safest borough in New York City to give birth. Building on that commitment, the Borough President announced a new partnership with Rachel's Alma mater, CUNY Brooklyn College, to launch New York State's first credit-bearing Perinatal Mental Health (PMH) Advanced Certificate Program. The program will prepare healthcare, mental health, early intervention, and early educational professionals to support pregnant mothers and birthing parents experiencing mental distress.

Or should employers make workers spend their entire work day in the office? This has been a major discussion in the business world since the Covid pandemic changed the way we work. There are arguments on both sides of the debate. These arguments centre on whether it is better to control workers or give them freedom.   Today I want to talk about this debate in more detail, while introducing some important grammar. In order to talk about this topic, we need to understand and know how to use causative grammar.  In this episode, we will focus on the causative “make” and “let”, while in Friday's bonus episode we will discuss “have” and “get”.

Learning vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are obviously difficult tasks, but I think something else can be just as challenging. Context and culture.

Natasha:  And I'm Natasha Cowden, coming to you from Denver, Colorado, and we'd like to welcome you to the MinistryWatch podcast. Warren: On today's program, the Trump administration cancels grants to refugee aid agencies…despite legal battles. We'll take a look. And, a staggering 30 percent of nonprofits don't survive a full decade—but when they go under, what happens to their assets? Our finance writer Shannon Cuthrell digs into the hidden risks and loopholes of nonprofit dissolutions. And, we've released our MinistryWatch list of the 50 Christian ministries receiving the largest government grants. Natasha: But first, the U-S Department of Justice has intervened on behalf of a Pennsylvania church trying to expand. Warren: On March 3, the Justice Department section for the Western District of Pennsylvania filed a statement of interest supporting the Hope Rising Community Church in its lawsuit against the Borough of Clarion. The church has outgrown its current facilities and wants to expand using a facility in the city's commercial district. While Clarion allows nonreligious assemblies in the commercial district, such as theaters, the city would not approve the church's zoning use variance request. Officials from the city allegedly said they didn't “need any more churches” because of the loss of property taxes. Natasha: Hope Rising Community Church filed its lawsuit in November alleging the city was violating the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA), a federal law that protects houses of worship from discrimination in zoning. When Clarion filed a motion to dismiss the church's claim, the Justice Department intervened. Warren: The city argued the church had not suffered any concrete injury as a result of Clarion's actions, the DOJ argued that the city's zoning code has “stymied [the church's] efforts to buy and develop the only suitable property for the church in Clarion.” As of March 2024, the DOJ had opened over 155 formal investigations and filed nearly 30 lawsuits related to RLUIPA's Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) land use provisions, and had filed 36 “friend-of-the-court” briefs addressing the interpretation and application of RLUIPA in privately-filed lawsuits. Natasha: Next, The Trump Administration cancels grants to refugee aid agencies. Warren: President Donald Trump's administration is making moves to shutter a decades-old partnership between the government and a group of mostly religious organizations to resettle refugees, with the State Department abruptly canceling grant agreements with all the agencies despite ongoing legal battles. On Wednesday (Feb. 26), refugee resettlement organizations, such as Church World Service, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and the U.S.
