Jenny: 大家好这里是Chinesepod我是Jenny

John: Hey guys, I'm John. This is an Upper Intermediate lesson.

Jenny: 哇今天我们的课很开行

John: 啊，喜欢烧烤，是吗？

Jenny: 对，我们今天要出去烧烤

John: 而且是由中国特色的烧烤，是啊？

Jenny: 对，今天呢我们是到一个可能公园，公园里面自己去烧烤然后【大乐一些巨响张】说的很有中国特色的食物

John: Alright, let's do it.

OK, already much much tougher than the Intermediate lessons, and not just because John is speaking Chinese now! Jenny seems to be at a faster pace and I feel like I've lost my 'comfort blanket'! Does anyone have any idea at all what she is saying in the square-bracketed bit above?!

Clue: it contains "John" rather than 张. (a typo in the line immediately preceding, John's; should also be 有中国特色的 not 由)

Also Jenny (2): 很开心 rather than 开行

The hosts do speak deliberately and very clearly for us up through Intermediate. You'll be fine Chris! jiayou

I think Jenny is saying here that in addition to being specifically about barbecues, today's dialogue is also specifically about the relationships between some people.

Yes I think 以外 (not because I really hear it but from context and pattern), followed by 还有一个主题

Ah, mate, we're online at the same time. I've just finished studying the expansion sentences for this lesson and was about to return to the transcription....great minds think alike and all that. To avoid us overlapping, how about I start in at the 6minute mark (assuming you're planning on doing a few 30sec slots yourself right now)? Chris.
