Is it just me or does Fiona's pronunciation of 生 on several occasions here (usually when spoken in isolation) sound much more like 伤 (shang1) than 生? Of course in real life actual pronunciation can vary wildly but I'm pretty sure this isn't perfectly correct 普通话 pronunciation... I'm just assuming ChinesePod aims to teach 普通话; if not my point here isn't really an issue so ignore me!

Interested to hear people's comments.
