Man: No, I don't. I buy my papers at the newsstand. But it's nice to have a newspaper delivered to your door, isn't it?
Woman: Yes, it is. That way I'm sure not to miss any of my favorite sections. Doesn't the size of the daily paper surprise you?
Man: Yes, it certainly does. The newspaper staff—the reporters, writers, editors, and linotype operators—must be busy continuously. They need a large circulation to support such a staff, don't they?
Woman: I'm sure they do. Of course, much of a newspaper's income comes from advertisements.
Man: That's true. I try to read the whole paper, don't you?
Woman: No. I just read the parts that interest me. I glance at the headlines, but I read the sports page and the business arefully. Do you read those?
Man: No, but I do read the editorials and the news section. You saw the article about the earthquake in Japan, didn't you?
Woman: Yes. That was a terrible disaster. So many people were killed! Do you think newspapers should print stories like that?
Man: Certainly they should! Newspapers must print stories about disasters. They're part of the news of the day and people want to know about them. Don't you agree?
Woman: Yes, I suppose disasters are news, too. It seems to me that newspapers would be more pleasant to read if they had a large society nd more comic strips. Don't you like to read articles about celebrations and happy events?
Man: Yes, I enjoy reading them. But since you don't like to read unhappy news, why do you subscribe to two newspapers? If I were you, I wouldn't read a newspaper at all.

W: I was a reader of blogs, and I was aware that some bloggers were starting to attach audio files. That excited me. (22) I read a newspaper article early which mentioned podcasting and I started to look into it. But I was busy with work, so I sort of forgot about the idea for a while.
M: But you came back to it and started your own podcast early in 2005.
W: That's right. In January, by then all the tools were available, and I had enough free time to devote to my own podcast. Of course I didn't know if anyone would listen to it, but just being able to broadcast something was enough for me.
M: Did you get any reaction from the public?
W: Yes, I was surprised and gratified to find that not only were people listening, (23) but they were interested enough to e-mail me with their thoughts on what I'd said.
M: What do you find to talk about?
W: (24) Current affairs, music, travel, and the things I'm interested in. I must admit that I'd always had ambitions to have my own radio show. With podcasting I found that I could have just that, my own show three times a week.
M: At the moment this is just a hobby, but do you see yourself making money from podcasting in the future?
W: No, not really. I know that some podcasters are talking about charging a subscription to their podcasts, but I like the idea that it's for free. (25) If you start charging people for something they can start making demands on you, and I like to be able to do and say whatever I want.

M: Good evening. Is that Mrs. Philips?
W: Yes, it is.
M: Well, Mrs. Phillips. This evening, I'm calling to offer you a special discount on...
W: Ah, no, let me guess. You want to sell a subscription to the newspaper or a great deal on the airfare to Hawaii, right? Or, you want to offer me an unbelievable bargain on dance lessons.
M: No, no, actually...Mrs. Philips. Oh, sorry. That was the last guy. Uh, we want to offer you a free membership to our sports club downtown at the introductory price of $39.95.
W: Thirty-nine ninety-five? I thought you said free! Uh, listen, I'm not interested.
M: Well, it includes unlimited access to all our facilities, including the gym, weight room, tennis courts, and swimming pool.
W: Again, I'm not interested. I have my own fitness program I do around the house anyway.
M: Well, this is an once-in-a-lifetime deal. In addition, the location of the sports club is near you house. That will be convenient for you.
W: Like I said, I'll pass this time. And please put me on your "don't call" list.
M: Okay. It'll take between four and six months before your name will be removed from our database. You might be called by another representative during that time.
W: Ah, man. Ah, great.
M: Have a nice evening, Mrs. Philips.
