What I mean are what Jenny says both at the 3:30 min. mark & the 12:29 min. mark of the lesson dialogues in the podcast.  There she definitely says something quite like 'shìchāo'.  I'm guessing the 'chāo' is from 'chāojí' in 'chāojí shìchǎng = supermarket' but, if I'm wrong, please let me know.  Sorry to bother you on such a trifle.  Zài xièxie.

Well, of course, with any almost any universal meaning, you can turn an adjective into a noun, to wit, "She is the sexiest" or "The sexiest is yet to come". The predicate 'yet to come' should give you something to which you can look forward. Meanwhile, wholehearted thanks to toianw for clearing up my question.

Does "gōngzuò kuǎn(tone-?)" mean 'workaholic' or 'work-mad' or something like that?  It certainly seems to be what Jenny is getting at at the 3:53 min. mark.  Xièxie rúguǒ yǒurén kěyǐ quèrèn yīxià.

At the 13:55 min. mark of the podcast, what is it Jenny says in pǔtōnghuà for "a little bit of a practical joke"?  It sounds like: "yǒudiǎn zhou? nong? (& the tones as well?) de yìsi" yet I'm not sure.  Cheers to anyone that can clarify this.
