Sample transcript

Maura: I also like to read when I’m commuting. Now, right now, with my job, I don’t commute and I can’t read on the way.

Harp: Yeah, I do that every day, I take my book with me on the bus and the metro and it makes the time go by so fast. Now Maura, let’s go to our next topic of book to movie adaptation.

Maura: People always talk about that too. After there’s a movie made about a book and many people have read the book, they always ask, “so, was the movie better than the book or was the book better than the movie?” and I would say almost all the time, people enjoy the book better than the movie.
