²     "Nice to be here, Keith."
 
³     "Let's start with where you're from. Where exactly is Dominica?"
 
⁴     "It's an island nation in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It's a small and beautiful place. Most of the island has tropical rainforests. We have lots of waterfalls, springs, and rivers. You really should come visit, Keith."

⁶     "Thanks, Keith."
 
⁷     "So tell our audience today what you look like."
