New Presenters - Has it affected the level?

I have been away from Chinesepod for 6 months, so I have missed some changes.  For example, Jenny no longer seems to participate in Advanced podcasts.  I have listened to a couple and I do enjoy have a man's voice to aspire to, but I wondered whether there was a noticable difference in language content in the banter.

My first reaction is that I am finding the banter easier to follow, and that there are less words I don't know.  This could be because I have improved (anything is possible!) but my impression is that the language is now easier.

Also the dialogues seemed a little easier too.

What do other people think? Has the level changed somewhat?
