September 22, 2009 at 6:58 AMJust a small technical observation about the downloadable files for this lesson.
The full lesson in both formats gives the lesson number as C1253, but the dialogue, review and PDF files are all named C1252.

September 14, 2009 at 7:07 AMSorry to see you go like this Pete.
For me it seems sudden, but maybe you have been thinking about it for some time.
I was hoping to engage with you more as I advanced with my Mandarin studies.
I really enjoyed your podcasts "Poems with Pete", they helped to boost my cultural studies of Chinese. I also thought they were among the classier elements of ChinesePod.
Anyway, good luck with your future plans, and please keep us Poddies regularly informed of your future exploits.
