I'd use "普通"/pǔtōng in that case too.

Glad you like the lesson! Oh, I have so many good and bad moments made permanent in the podcasts. An audio developmental diary I guess.

A more PC term for non-disabled people is "健全人/qiànquánrén." However, you will commonly hear "正常人" in daily conversations. My observation is that most people don't intend to be disparaging when using the term. China has not developed a widespread sense of PC or sensitivity yet, which can be improved.

We'd call that "瓜子脸"/gua1zi3lian3, which means "melon-seed face" which describes the pointy chin.

塌鼻子/tābízi means a "flat" nose.

We all have accents at the end of the day. This kind of attitude is not helpful to learning.

Dilu is great! She has the most spark out of the candidates John and I interviewed.

Has anyone had 散伙饭/sànhuǒfàn/farewell dinner with a soon-to-be ex?

You will still be hearing John and myself in almost every podcast since he will be co-hosting with Dilu and I will be co-hosting with Jason. And we are also heavily involved in behind the scene work like pre-recording prep work with the dialogue writers and the new hosts.
