Chinesepod is run by criminals and isn't worth using. There are better and cheaper sites out there. All you have to do is look: CSLPod, Chinese Learn Online and Visual Mandarin just to name a few.

Instead of "san4bu4," the better word for this is "guang4jie1", which means to walk around in areas where there are lots of shops/stores/etc. I think "san4bu4" is too general.
This is a good start. But don't be so open ended. With Chinese like most other languages, you can get on pretty well with only three or four thousand words (words, not characters). Within those three to four thousand, less than eight hundred make up the core of the language. This core is what should be presented here and in your newbie pod(net)casts. After the core is mastered, everything else is just specializing and more nouns. That's how I finally learned it.
I'm glad you are starting to use the video medium for teaching. Can you possibly do a tour through a house and point out the chinese for items in an apartment? I still don't know how to say fridge or name rooms yet.

I really love the ChinesePOD MP3's and having a video to watch at the same time, with the words on the screen makes a HUGE difference for me.
I love ChinesePOD, going to be paying for my first month of subscription tomorrow.. :) Would like to see more videos
