PODCAST VIDEO
Hello, my name is Gareth and I'm from England and my question is do you listen to the radio or podcasts?
I listen to podcasts on my way to work and I very rarely listen to the radio. I listen to podcasts because I can pause and stop when I have to change from a bus to a train. I can then resume when I get on to the train from where I paused. So it's very convenient. Radio, on the other hand, you can't really pause it live so I very rarely listen to the radio.
The podcasts which I like and I listen to the most these days are Adam & Joe which is actually a radio show in England. It's broadcast live but then recorded and they cut out the music and they condense it down and release it as a podcast through iTunes and that's pretty funny and it's a good representation of British comedy. And I also listen to two American podcasts, one is called This American Life and it's pretty interesting. It's about American people and their theme each week changes and it's very general, food, music, stuff like that and the third podcast I listen to the most is Radio Lab and that's a podcast, it's an American podcast about science and it's really easy to understand. It's not very technical and also like American Life they have interesting stories and they kind of talk about it in a scientific way and it's very interesting.

AUPAIR
Au Pair USA’s screening and matching process is designed to help you select the best au pair for your family. You’ll start by reviewing the au pair’s application packet. If the au pair’s application appeals to you, you’ll have the opportunity to interview her or him. This is probably the most crucial point of your decision process—you’ll not only be able to learn about the au pair’s experience and English skills, but you’ll also get a sense of her or his personality.
Because the interview is so important, you should prepare your questions in advance. Feel free to keep a conversational tone, but make sure you cover all your important questions and issues during the interview. You may find the following list helpful as you prepare for your interviews:

- Have you baby sat for kids or worked in a camp or kindergarten?

- What are the ages of the children you have cared for in the past?
- How do you discipline children? How were you disciplined as a child?
- What type of relationship do you have with your family? How do they feel about you coming to America for a year?

- What type of household chores are expected of you in your home?
- Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? How do they feel about you leaving for a year? Are they going to visit?
- What type of hobbies do you have?

- Do both your parents work?
- Do you cook? What types of meals do you envision cooking for the children?
- Do you consider yourself a tidy or messy person? Would you have a problem joining a very messy or very neat household?

Most guys aren’t very interested in fashion, at least according tostereotype. But maybe they’d be more into it if they had more options. When it comes to creating the perfect ensemble, women just have a lot more to choose from than men.
For one thing, women can add to their outfits with jewelry. Necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings…for girls, the options are practically endless. But jewelry for guys is a lot less common. Mason and Jeff would like to change that.

Dialogue
Mason: Jeff, do you ever feel as a man that it’s difficult toaccessorize?
Jeff: Can I be honest here?
Mason: Yeah, I wish you would.
Jeff: Yes. Yes, and I’ve been waiting for someone to ask that.
Mason: I totally hear you. So, when I got married…obviously I’ve got my wedding ring on now. And that’s like the only piece of jewelry that I wear. And I don’t know, I kinda feel like maybe I want more.
Jeff: You know, I do have a couple high school football state champ rings lying around. Maybe I should break them out.
Mason: What would you do? I man, there’s…the watch, obviously, is the standby man accessory. Then you take it a little bit further, maybe it’s a bracelet. Maybe it’s a necklace or something. Maybe two. Can you have multiple rings? I don’t know. The multi-ring guy is a weird guy. I feel like there almost needs to be something new, like there’s something that hasn’t been invented yet that I need to add to my ensemble, just for a little bit of flair.
Jeff: This is true. We only have so many options.
Jeff: Can I be honest here?
Mason: Yeah, I wish you would.

Jeff: This is true. We only have so many options.
Discussion
After getting married, Mason started wearing a wedding ring. This is the only jewelry he wears. He might like to start wearing more jewelry, but he says his options are limited.
Jeff also thinks there should be more jewelry for guys. Men don’t have as many ways to accessorize their outfits as women. The only jewelry most guys wear is a watch. Mason thinks someone needs to invent a new accessory that is just for guys.
If you’re a guy, do you wear any jewelry? If you’re a girl, do you like it when guys wear jewelry? What is your favorite accessory?
