 Hi everyone! I'm Liz Wade and I wanted to give you a little update on our channel. So we have been growing and trying new things and I really wanted to be able to give you a little update on what those things were. So I have a list here in my little notebook of three things that I wanted to tell you about that are happening on our channel right now. The first is memberships. Maybe you have noticed underneath each video now you can see a little button that says join and if you click that button you can get more information. I think that some people think that if they click the button they are immediately going to be charged and that is not the case. If you click you'll be able to see what different levels there are and then also make the choice whether you want to be a member or not and there are four different levels of membership. The first one is you get some cool badges and emojis and also you get your name in every single video we make after you sign up. In the second level you also get access to exclusive member videos and what is the other thing? Oh yeah you get PDFs of scripts so that's really great and then as you go up you get more PDFs and more video access and other perks so that's really cool. So if you want to join being in one of the first months of our membership this is a really cool time to join. Okay so what is our second thing? Oh yeah our second thing we have people ask all the time how can I download your program and we have had a long history. Spotlight is over 20 years old so for many years people were able to very easily download our programs from our website and our website changed and you know sometimes change is hard and we have programs that are available on YouTube and a podcast and an app and our website so there's lots of choices but we recently updated our website to be able to easily download programs so if you are a person who just listens to the program or wants to download it later so that you can listen to it again and again now that is a super easy option. You just need to go to the website there's a little player at the bottom and you just click the little down arrow with a line under it the download symbol right so you just click the download symbol and it will automatically save that program to your computer or your phone or whatever so that I think is a really great way to be able to download the programs. Number three oh yes this is another thing that people have been asking for and we posted a poll on our community page a couple weeks ago now I think asking if people like the music in the program or not because we often get people asking us to make the music levels lower so that it's easier to understand the voices so we are trying this as an experiment we are going to try to make some of our programs no music programs and now our first no music program comes out tonight uh or maybe it's in the morning for you wherever it is for me it's tonight that program will come out tonight and you will be able to listen to that program with only the intro music and the outro music so the beginning theme music and the ending theme music and if you like that program if you like that style of no music let us know leave a comment or if you miss the music and the sound effects let us know that too we really want to make sure that you are getting your best English practice and English learning experience from spotlight English programs and we love listening to your requests and trying to make those real so um again check out the join button below check out the programs that you can now download on our website and uh check out our new no music programs and as soon as we get a few we'll have a whole playlist of those so let us know what you think in the comments below give a like on a program or even subscribe that really helps us get the word out about spotlight English so that more people can use our programs to practice and learn English thank you so much for being a subscriber if you already are or thank you especially to our members our new members we're super glad to have you with us listen watch practice learn spotlight out
