V = Val; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.

Part 1
V: Hi. I live in a block of flats and I know a few of my neighbors really well. We like similar things so we socialize quite a lot. Today, I’m going to ask people about their neighbors. How well do you know your neighbors?

Part 2
W1: Um, I know my neighbors quite well. I moved in a year ago and I live in the middle flat, and, it’s a house that’s broken into three flats. Um, the guys upstairs moved in a year ago as well and um, the guys downstairs have been there for a few years, but we all have a communal garden um, so we get to use that space together.
W2: Er, virtually not at all. Um, I’ve er, I live in a flat and I moved into the flat about er, six months ago.
M1: Yeah, I know them quite well, but I don’t, er, some I get on with and some I don’t. Some I want to get on with and some I don’t want to get on with.
W3: Um, not at all. I’ve never even seen them. Um, no, I don’t know them at all, quite honestly.

Part 3
V: What makes a good neighbor?
W1: A good neighbor is someone that you can trust, that you could leave your key with, that you could ask to water your plants or feed your cat.
W2: I think what makes a good neighbor is someone who looks out for you, er, and you look out for them as well.
M2: Knowing when to interfere and not to interfere; being friendly at the right times but not being intrusive.
W3: A good neighbor would be someone who’s considerate; um, who always keeps in mind that … they do have neighbors – whether it be noise or trash, just keeping up their property, making it a nice place that people will want to come home to.
The people in the podcast mainly talk about how well they know their neighbors and what makes a good neighbor and a bad neighbor. They also talk about the best or worst neighbor they’ve ever had.
