| 0:00.0 | Want to make a podcast? Spotify has got a platform that lets you make one super easily and then |
| 0:04.8 | distribute it everywhere and even earn money. It's called Spotify for podcasters and here's |
| 0:09.6 | how it works. It lets you record and edit podcasts right from your phone or computer so no matter |
| 0:14.2 | what your setup is like, you can start creating today. Then you can distribute your podcast to |
| 0:18.8 | Spotify and everywhere else podcasts are heard. You guys probably noticed that MI The Jurk has |
| 0:23.7 | video podcasts and that's one of the things that I like the most. I definitely recommend you give |
| 0:27.6 | to try. It's free and has no catch. Download the Spotify for podcasters app or go to |

| 1:12.7 | and I'm not sure what to say. I'm sorry ma'am. It was an accident. Is there anything else I can do |
| 1:17.7 | for you? What? You want me to ask you a question so you can put me on hold and never come back again? |
| 1:22.7 | I don't think so. Click. It was a rather strange interaction. Not the strangest though. |
| 1:27.8 | I thought it was over until about 30 minutes later when she came into the store. Are you never? |
| 1:33.2 | I always give my name when answering the phone and work as I'm sure we all do. Yes, how can I help you? |
| 1:39.2 | I was the one you forgot about on the phone. Now I'm a bit socially awkward. In certain situations |
