To my dear Chinesepod

April 16, 2008, 10:21 AM posted in General DiscussionEvery time when i listen to Chinesepod, I always think it will be wonderful if i can see our dear hosts' faces while listening to their voices. It seems that just listen to their voices is not enough for me , I want to see their facial expressions and body languages.^_^ Am i too much addicted to Chinesepod? Maybe our dear Chinesepod can show us some interesting sidelights some day? I am looking forward to that.
How about you guys?

April 17, 2008, 11:33 PMWow, that kind of meetup is very very cool! Did other poddies have this kind of meetup before? If so, come on, show us! Chinesefood is delicious!鱼香茄子,宫保鸡丁,三鲜炒面,麻婆豆腐,饺子,混沌etc. etc... P.s. Bazza, you are really a shy guy!!! If i were you and faced to the video, I would talk a lot and show some chinese that I had learned.^_^

April 17, 2008, 01:17 AMYeh there's a few YouTube videos with the actual cPOD people on them (not enough for to subdue my desire to see them) and also there are YoUTube videos of "lessons", where they basically have a commentary on what happens in the video. I like both of these ideas and find it frustrating that there are not more of the same for premium members.. and the fans of cPOD. The video lessons are great because they have the subtitles of what is being taught at the same time as it is being taught but the dialog is in the same general format as the cPOD audio lessons. May be one video a month can be produced.. I would like it to be one a week of coruse but may be that would be too much work to the already extensive workload the cPODders do. One a month si not too unreasonable a request.. even if it is just a commentary video lesson.. or even a video of the actual recording session.. like a webcam.. Actually.. that's another idea altogether.. there could be a webcam in main office.. and then another one, that only gets switched on when a lesson is being recorded, in the studio.. that would be ok..

April 17, 2008, 02:31 AMWow, thanks bazza for those cool videos. I never know "The Saturday Show" before! It is very good and those lessons from the show did taught practical words in daily life!!! And I want to say that Chinesepod factory is really really cool place and it is a little different from my imagination before! I wonder is it still the same now? or may be somewhat changed? Oh, It took me about an hour and a half to watch all those videos from the menu. I really enjoyed! And to be honest, I had been silly again. You know, I was too excited to comment just now and typed too fast to lose all those words i had typed. So I am carefully typing this time. Oh, Ken's avatar show up in my mind when I saw him in the video, and i thought very "cool and wise" ken at any time, any place.^_^ And Jenny, oh, very charming lady! Wait, i think i should use chinese to comment that Jenny will understand me very well. Jenny,每次在播客中听到你的声音,我都会对自己说,她绝对是一个可爱的小女人,哈哈,爱玩,爱笑,非常的活泼,对吧?I am sorry if you guys can not understand all thoes chinese characters! And John, I saw you were texting!!!ha ha. It seems that you are about 5'12 or more than that! When i saw John in the video, i thought about those cold jokes that he made with Jenny! It was funny! Okay, I am sorry for this long comment, but i am not going to stop, here comes my questions! 1.Who is the guy with red scarf in the holiday greeting one? 2. Who is the guy shows up at the end of the greeting video? 3. Are all those videos recorded by Eric?(Most recorded by Eric and Jenny) I feel shame that I don't know Eric before, I guess i missed many good and nice people like Eric from Chinesepod and i also missed many good and interesting stuff in the pass three years. I hope i would had known chinesepod at the first begining. Anyway, it is not too late to know. 4. Who is the shy ,beautiful and blond hair lady in the greeting one? Is she our dear Amber? I have no idea about that. Where is Amber? 5. Who is the guy in the Chinesepod translation one? P.s. I feel shame for not knowing all of you, but i will try to, so please, tell me who are they!

April 16, 2008, 03:15 PMI'm with Cassie on this one!! I'm a very visual person. It would have been fun to have seen Jenny singing on the Whatever lesson...the Qingwens would also be interesting to watch...then we could see Clay slurping his kafei! Maybe at the least, we could get some occasional photos of the staff hard at work...or not...ha ha. -Adam

April 17, 2008, 03:13 AMMmmm.. a surprise from Amber. That's something I would like to see. :) :) But seriously.. I can't wait to see what you people have planned. Can you at least let us know when it is going to happen? Like this weekend? Next month? etc? Also.. John.. what state of being were you in when the picture you use for your avatar was taken? :) It looks like you had a long night out on the town before that picture was taken..? :) And Casie... haha.. you are as cute as Jenny! :)

April 17, 2008, 03:54 AMI second light478's question. I thought to ask this question long time ago. John, when did it was taken? When i saw your avatar for the first time, i thought you look like Chad Michael Murray in this picture, especially the eyes! Dear Amber, can i have a request, please don't put your surprise on Dear Amber or 请问, I will not be allowed to see that. Please!!!Please!!!!!

April 17, 2008, 03:06 PMoh, no, the video speed is too low to watch the whole video before the curfew. I will get up very early tomorrow morning and watch it before the time for work.

April 17, 2008, 08:45 PMHehe.. I love that food comment: "I flew all this way and we're gonna have Chinese food." haha.. such a disappointment! :) However, as someone who loves their food I can totally relate to that comment. :)
