Skip:   This is Skip Montreux in Tokyo, Japan.
Dez:    And this is Dez Morgan in Abu Dhabi.
Skip:   And you are listening to Down to Business English Unplugged.

Dez:    So what do you mean by unplugged?
Skip:   Well, unplugged simply means that today, rather than reading from a written story, you and I are just going to talk naturally about our news topics.
Dez:    Okay, you mean like the one we did a year ago on the Japanese earthquake?
Skip:   Exactly. In fact, after that episode which we just improvised, we received a lot of feedback, positive feedback from listeners wanting to hear more of that naturally spoken English, so we thought we would try it again.
Dez:     We did. It wasn’t just because we were too lazy to write a script, really.
Skip:    Well, it was my turn, wasn’t it, and I didn’t get that done, sorry. But anyway, here we go.
Dez:     Okay, well there are two things I need to tell people that are different. Because this is unplugged, we’re just talking, it would take an awful long time to write, to transcribe what we’re saying. So we’re going to use an outside transcription service, so there will be a small charge this time. I hope that’s okay] And the other difference is there’ll be two topics. I’ll have a topic and Skip will have a topic
Skip:    So….
Dez:    My topic
Skip:    Sorry Dez, go ahead.
Dez:    Yes sorry, my topic will be on the Davos Summit.
Skip:    Yes, and I will be speaking about SOPA and PIPA from the United States. So without any more ado, let’s get Down to Business with SOPA, PIPA and Davos.
