BE 483: Improve Your English Popcorn Style

In this episode of the Business English Podcast, Lindsay and Michelle discuss the meaning of "popcorn style" in a business context, particularly in brainstorming sessions and meetings. They explain that it refers to a non-sequential, random way of sharing ideas, where anyone can speak up at any time, similar to how popcorn pops. They also explore alternative phrases, such as "open the floor" or "rapid fire," and touch on the leadership skills involved in facilitating such discussions. The hosts consider the effectiveness of popcorn style in remote settings and provide a role-play scenario to illustrate its use. Additionally, they promote their upcoming pronunciation course and encourage listeners to join the early access list.
