awesome podcast! I face a non-stop deluge of adverts just like these whenever I travel by cab down here. I dont know how the drivers can stand it. The ones for the hengxiangyuan clothing company were the worst.
Anyway, kudos for the hilarious verismilitude, and the photo is great too.

Your podcasts are very helpful. The commentary is top-notch, and I really enjoy the repeat sound clips from the dialog.
The amplitude level is really low though. I always have to boost the volume, only to get blasted by the next file on my mp3 player. Could you boost the volume a bit?
Keep up the good work!

I second BMG's thoughts on the repetition of sound clips. It's so helpful to hear the dialogue audio again during the commentary, and then the host's pronunciation directly after. And the audio editing is seamless! It really keeps the lesson focused and streamlined. However, I also agree that the amplitude is a little low. I think it might also have something to do with how David and Brendan occasionally tend to mumble a little bit. Maybe a little more effort to speak closer to the mike?

What a great podcast. Very well done.
I third toneandcolor and BMG's thoughts. I really like the way you guys use repetition at just the right times. The commentary in many of the lessons is too soft. I think it partly has to do with David and Brendan's manner of speaking and/or mic location.

The footballer that advertised 金嗓子喉片 is Kaka, not Ronaldo!There used to be an enormous billboard in Xi'an near one of the exits of the Terracotta Warriors but I think that is probably long gone now.Great podcasts, guys.

@vladimir_lenin69,The original advertisement was Ronaldo: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XODA1Mjk3MDA=.html . There was a news that 金嗓子喉宝 wasn't authorized to use his image though.--Echoecho@popupchinese.com
