Christina:

Hey, everybody. Christina here, with your Faster Fluency Conversation Club podcast. I hope that you are having a lovely start to your summer. And today I'm here with Karyn in Hotlanta, talking about the summer and the hot weather. Karyn, how are you doing over there in Atlanta? Or Hotlanta, as we say sometimes in the US.


Karyn:

I am doing very well. It is starting to warm up. Temperatures are starting to warm up. So yes, summer is upon us.


Christina:

I was going to say-


Karyn:

How is it in France?

Christina:

France is lovely in June. France, it's really nice. It's generally not too hot. July and August will be miserable, but that's okay. But yeah, I remember summer in the US, because my parents are from Mississippi. Summer was just the worst. It was just misery, like absolute miserable, hot, humid ickiness basically. But that's summer.

Karyn:

That's summer, right.

Christina:

Summer in the south. Yeah. Anyway. So, we're not talking about the weather today. We're talking about the best TV shows or TV series for learning about American culture. And Karyn, I don't know, do you have maybe some TV series that your students mention a lot or some that you're a fan of?
