Love this kind of lesson (as adjunct to the normal lesson structure). I second curmudgy's comment about a wide range of accents in NY. And am sure this bit will be helpful going back and forth between Shanghai and Beijing in June!  So thanks.

This format's really useful - the natural rhythm and speed is important to hear and learn. I vote for keeping it in the mix along with more dense and structured dialogues. Also helpful to hear the commentary on what's Shanghai regional speech. Curious to know: is his accent Shanghai regional? If so, commentators should point it out.
