Well, once I've heard this podcast I must say it is more difficult than I thought. The sound's quality isn't too good, and some parts of it are just imposible to understand.I hope I answered the questions correctly.Next time let's try to choose a podcast which can be actually understood, please.XDDDD
Well,I've noticed I'm the first one to leave a comment...what's happened with the rest of you???jajajajajaja

After listening to the recording, i believe it´s hard to understand as it´s inmensely monotonous.Anyway,after listening to it a few times, you are likely to understand the whole recording.

I think it's quite weird, and not very easy to understand. For me the most difficult part was coping with the strange buzzing. And last but not least is that I cannot stand American!

I found hard to understand the mostly the first part, but as soon as i got used to the pronunciation and i could ignore the static it was much easier... after a couple of listenings it wasn't hard to understand nearly all he said

The quality of the sound wasn't too good and at the first time I didn't understant much. However I didn't have any problems in getting the answers in the end.
