EP013 Out Of Control Spending | Intermediate

This podcast episode centers on understanding company finances, specifically how to interpret a profit and loss statement. The hosts, Erica and Marco, introduce key vocabulary, including "expenses" (regular company spendings like salaries) and the idiom "through the roof" (meaning extremely high). A dialogue illustrates these concepts within a business meeting context, where a manager is confronted about excessive spending on entertainment and travel. Further language takeaways include "expenditures" (total money spent), "out of control," and the phrasal verb "go over" (review carefully). The hosts also explore related phrases like "off the charts," "look into it," and "take care of it," differentiating between investigating and taking action. The episode concludes with a discussion about executive perks and an invitation for listeners to share their own spending habits.
