I like your music choice to create the "bar" feeling and the reference to your blog during the podcast. Scenarios one and three seems to be on the same topic, but scenario four inculding a good public service annoucment about drinking too much. Overall great quality and blog links!
ReplyDeleteI would add "bouncer" to the vocabulary list. Quite helpful and definitely need-to-know material for anyone visiting Drinkytown, IL. And whatever Aja says, I think the material varied just enough to be useful without being too confusing. This could actually be a fun series to make.
