Thanks to kind listener Kevin who wrote in, this edition has both the video replay (below) and the audio podcast (attached). It's a little tricky to go from YouTube to QuickTime to iTunes to here, but it works! Podcasting has come a long way.

Enjoy this week's show where Alex, Vinnie, and arvind discuss, "what do learners really want?"
