In this episode, Andrew and Indiana share three news stories and trends they came across recently. The first is about a woman who buys old iPods and shares the playlists she finds on them, like a small window into strangers’ lives. After that, they talk about a new idea for spending less time on your phone, and a surprising change in what makes food popular today. To build your fluency, try listening to the episode more than once and saying the new expressions out loud until you feel comfortable using them yourself.
