Hi!
Let me tell you that I like very much the idea of talking about idioms and slang. It's great and useful!
But what made me write this comment is the suggestion I have. Can you speak faster, with more natural pace? To be honest, I get bored. There's just not challenge. Plus, I don't want to listen to something that a bystander might think I'm a beginner or a retard.
Did I say that I'm very interested in the content?

CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S A GREAT JOB TO HELP US.
I WANT TO ASK YOU THE TEXT ABOUT THE PODCATS.
I THINK THAT IS BETTER TO THE STUDENTS TO EAR SPEAKING MORE FAST, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY READING THE TEXT.
SORRY BY MY GRAMMAR.
WITH ALL MY RESPECT.

Hi there! simply congratulations. This idioms are going to be very helpful for my students that say sometimes can't not keep up with movies.... one suggestion will be the idea of having the script or having your explanation written beacuse usually my students do not have speakers or since they are beginners they do not understand so I can read for them.
In contrast to what someone might think I agree with that way you speak while explaining the idioms cause you do it slowly and then naturaly... it helps everyone understand better speacially for beginners.... please keep on doing it like this.

Thanks a lot
