Slice of Life 11: Binge Watching, Life’s Great Entertainments
Língua da Gente - Portuguese Podcast: LessonsShow Notes
You can watch a show on TV and then wait a week for the next episode. Or, you can wait and watch all of the episodes one after another. Binge watching isn’t a waste of time, it’s the best way to really get into the story. In today’s episode we not only love to binge watch, but we love the snacks and ice cream that go with it all too.
