Hello everyone. My name is Andrew. And my name is Anna. And you're listening to the

Culeps English podcast. Welcome back to Kuleps. You're listening to Chatterbox, which is the Kuleps series designed

for intermediate and advanced English learners, and here we present natural unscripted conversations about a wide

range of interesting topics. Today I'm joined by my co-host Anna.

Hello there Anna how's it going? I'm joined by my co-host Anna. Hello there Anna, how's it going?

I'm great, thank you Andrew, how are you?

I'm good Anna and I'm excited that today we can finally continue part two

of the episode that we planned to record and release a long time ago at the start of the year actually

So these predictions are coming out of America and they're specific for the American population.
