7. Words That Make Us : Luck

CORRECTION: Paulo Coelho does NOT come from Spain. He comes from Brazil.

In this episode of the "Words That Make Us" podcast, Rama and Tony discuss the topic of “Luck”. Listen to them as they discuss the connotations of the word “luck” and debate its existence. Of course they have some poetry for you too.
