Marketing is hard.
But I'll tell you a little secret.
It doesn't have to be.
Let me point something out.
You're listening to a podcast right now, and it's great.
You love the host.
You seek it out and download it.
You listen to it while driving, working out, cooking, even going to the bathroom.
Podcasts are a pretty close companion.
And this is a podcast ad.

Easy English Expression, rehashed.
Hello everybody, my name is Coach Shane and welcome to Easy English Expressions.
Come on, let's master English.
Hello, everybody.
It's Hump Day Wednesday.
How you doing?
EQ number 374.
This is such a useful phrase.
I want you to be able to use it perfectly.
Enjoy.
Let's go back in time.
Today's expression is great.
A perfect mix of A and B.
A perfect mix of A and B. That means A and B are combined to perfection.
So in America in the wintertime, on a Sunday afternoon American especially guys, but women too we love to celebrate with two things.
Chicken wings and football.
Almost every American will say chicken wings and football is the perfect combination.
A Sunday afternoon in America is a perfect mix of A and B, A perfect mix of football and chicken wings.
Yeah, for me, I love football.
I do like American football.
Chicken wings?
Yeah.
They're okay.
Too many bones.
There's not enough meat.
I like some meat on my chicken mix of A and B.
Recently I bought this really nice, very healthy drink mix.
It's cherry juice, but it's a concentrate.
So you need to mix it with water.
So if you drink just the I add some sugar, but not too much, just a little bit.
It's a perfect mix of healthy and sweet.
It's a perfect mix of cherry juice and sugar and water.
Yeah, we can have three things there.
Usually it's two things.
It's an easy expression, but I want you to think of your own example.
Let me give you one more example in the dialogue.
How would you describe Coach Shane's DDM?
Oh, a perfect mix of education and entertainment.
So his classes are fun?
Fun and beneficial.
I've learned so much.
There you go.
Yeah.
Education is very important.
You know, people come to me to learn English, to work on their pronunciation, their listening skills, their idioms, their expressions, how to speak English, how to understand English, the culture, the background, the history.
So I have to provide lots of educational services.
But just education is quite boring.
So I try to make it interesting.
I try to add a little bit of entertainment by using voices, by changing my vocal tone, by giving funny examples.
It helps.
It helps break the boring cycle of education.
That's what I try to do in my podcasts, in my videos, in my lessons.
I try...
To get that perfect mix of education and entertainment.
Sometimes I fail.
I know, I do.
I do my best, though.
So hopefully this one wasn't too bad.
I guess you guys will be the judge.
Once again, I want...
Your examples.
A perfect mix of A and B. Maybe it's your dinner.
Maybe it's your plans for the week.
Maybe it's your exercise routine.
A perfect mix.
A perfect combination of A and B. Yes, there could be C, but usually just two things.
Let's check out that dialogue a couple more times.
How would you describe Coach Shane's DDM?

I've learned so much.
