  • Season 3 Kickoff — “Two Ps in a Podcast” (IELTS decoded with Philip Erasmus)
    Oct 2 2025

    We launch Season 3 of The Bibi and Peter Show with special guest Philip Erasmus—and classic Bibi–Peter chaos. From the “two Ps in a pod” gag to the eternal question of how to pronounce IELTS, we dive into what the exam actually tests, who needs Academic vs General Training, and why time management and targeted prep matter more than raw talent.

    Philip breaks down the exam format, a realistic 10–20 hours of focused prep, and how listening practice must cover multiple accents (not just British)—while Peter weighs when AI can help and when a real coach is irreplaceable. If you’re eyeing study abroad or migration, this one’s your roadmap. To reach Philip, find him on LinkedIn or drop us a comment and we’ll connect you.
