017: Conversations: What's the Most Challenging Job you've Ever Had?

Today David and I ask each other a series of questions to get the conversation going. Then we stop ourselves as idioms, phrasal verbs, or interesting vocabulary words come up in conversation. A sample of what is covered: meaning of 'economically depressed', what preposition to use with 'proud', the phrase 'having said that', the terms 'introvert' and 'extrovert', the idiom 'green thumb', and much more.

How do we describe smells?

What is the worst smell in the world? And what is the best smell? Are there any smells that you like, but that your friends or family hate? Smells are all around us all the time, but the English language is often quite general in the way it describes smells, as opposed to other senses like sounds or tastes. But why is this? Neil and Georgie discuss this and teach you some new vocabulary.
