ESL Podcast 699 – Dealing With the Paparazzi Download Podcast Tags: Entertainment Audio Index: Slow dialogue: 1:06 Explanations: 2:39 Fast dialogue: 15:56 Fredo: I feel like a prisoner in my own home! I can’t step outside without the paparazzi snapping pictures of me. They stake out my house 24 hours a day. Amanda: I suppose that’s the price of fame. You do have the most popular podcast in the world. Fredo: But they’re such a pain in the neck! They don’t just take pictures. They chase me in my car and follow me into restrooms, trying to corner me. It’s an invasion of privacy. Amanda: You’re right, but look on the bright side. The paparazzi give you plenty of exposure. They keep your name – and your face – in the spotlight. Fredo: It would be fine if they just took a few candid shots while I’m at dinner or at the store, but they try to take photos when I’m out of town, trying to catch me doing something I shouldn’t. Amanda: At least, that’s good news for your wife. She can call off that private detective she hired to follow you from city to city! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
