You guys can stop the wailing and gnashing of teeth. We'll be the first to admit we were a bit delayed with Film Friday this week. Echo's visa to Canada came through earlier this week and she's been on a shopping rampage ever since as we prepare to hop the pond on Monday. But it's here now, so if you've been going through Popup Chinese withdrawal hook up your iPod and reinforce your addiction to the best Chinese learning show anywhere online.

And our lesson today has the distinction of hitting a number of firsts. In addition to being the first podcast we've ever produced which revolves around farm produce, this show also has the distinction of being your last chance to win a month of free premium access to Popup Chinese in 2009. Stunning how time flies, isn't it? If you're disappointed with the progress you've made in the last year, feel that you've hit a plateau, or just want to accelerate your Chinese studies in the year to come, be sure to get your guesses in to echo@popupchinese.com. We'll pick one lucky winner and give them the gift that just keeps giving. So good luck, and we hope you like the show!
