Even though John is gone, I hope the CP team can do more in this series.   Maybe explaining more of the symbols and images you would see.  Or maybe about what casual visitors can do and shouldn't do.

Note that their is a discrepancy between the two recorded versions of the dialog.   

In the dialog MP3, the speaker says , in 右边的... which matches the transcript.

However, on the individual sentence on the Dialog tab, the speaker uses

有啊,你往前走。右边的灯具区,在电池旁边。
  yǒu ā, nǐ wǎng qián zǒu. zài yòubiān de dēngjù qū, zài diànchí pángbiān.
  We do. You can walk forward. The lighting section is on the right and the batteries are next to it.

Pinyin error on this Expansion sentence: the speaker says "huán" but the transcript has "hái".

我已经把昨天问邻居借的梯子回去了。

wǒ yǐjīng bǎ zuótiān wèn línjū jiè de tīzǐ hái huíqu le。

I already brought back the ladder that I borrowed from the neighbors yesterday.

KTV Time was a true and worthy successor to Poems with Pete.  Both took on the difficult task of explaining Chinese poetry and song to outsiders.  I expect to continue studying both series for a long time to come.    Thanks, guys.

Translation question on this Expansion sentence:  for 老板, should it be "teacher" instead of "boss"?

他总是迟到,所以一直被老板骂。
tā zǒngshì chídào, suǒyǐ yīzhí bèi lǎobǎn mà。
He is always late, so he's always scolded by the teacher.

Pinyin error in an Expansion sentence:  duàn instead of xíng.

谁求情都没用,法官会依据法律来判
shéi qiúqíng dōu méi yòng, fǎguān huì yījù fǎlǜ lái pànduàn
Regardless of who pleads with him, the judge will make his judgments according to the law.

I agree. Instead of dragging in another app, I wish ChinesePod would get its own house in order: technical support. customer service, web design, mobile app, and production quality. Case in point -- the forums are full of complaints about the recent web site changes. The comments seem to fall on deaf ears. CP should at least acknowledge every comment. That's a basic principle of support. Ideally, every such comment should be turned into a ticket with a mechanism for tracking.

Thanks. Now it makes sense!
