What would you do if the lights went out — not just in your street, but across two countries?

In this special episode of English and Beyond: Intermediate English Podcast, I share my experience of the huge blackout that hit Spain and Portugal, shutting down electricity, internet, and mobile service for hours.

🚫 No work.
🚫 No communication.
🚫 No idea what was happening.

In this real-life story, you’ll hear about:
– What it felt like when modern life stopped working
– How dependent we are on technology, money, and information
– Why it’s a reminder that the world is more fragile than we like to think
– The importance of flexibility, resilience, and maybe carrying a little cash… just in case

Follow the podcast to keep improving your English - and preparing for the unexpected!
