This weekend we’ve been working hard on the TP Podcast, where we have included Tags, and made a lovely copy of all the episodes so you can download it! (it’s 2 pages; the pods for Elementary are on page 2), and also on the Useful language section on the TP site, where we have created a printer-friendly copy of the transcripts! If you find any mistakes or if you have questions or comments, you’re welcome to post them here or on the podcast!
