  • I want digests

    I’m a Japanese that’s learning English. I’m interested in this program but I can’t catch so much of its content.

    I wish there were digest of each session a little more in detail.

    If it’ll be so, l will be able to enjoy programs.

  • For insiders

    I was hoping for a podcast of general interest to toastmasters. This one is targeted at TM insiders, and doesn't have much to say for the new member.
