Spreadsheet audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: A grid of rows and columns quietly runs much of the modern world.
Narrator: Spreadsheet. Phonetically: SPRED-sheet. IPA: /ˈsprɛdʃiːt/.
Narrator: It is a noun. A spreadsheet is a digital grid for storing and calculating data.
Narrator: Numbers, text, and formulas live in cells, arranged in rows and columns.
Narrator: The word is a compound — spread, as in laid out, plus sheet, a sheet of paper.
Narrator: It comes from the old accounting spread sheet — a ledger spread across two facing pages.
Narrator: The digital version was born in 1979 with a program called VisiCalc.
Narrator: That single app turned the personal computer into a serious business tool.
Narrator: Today spreadsheets power budgets, schedules, data analysis, and countless quick calculations.
Narrator: Their genius is the formula — change one number, and everything recalculates instantly.
Narrator: Register: neutral and technical — the plain language of offices everywhere.
Narrator: Spreadsheet is the humble grid that quietly keeps the numbers in line.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: I've been planning our holiday budget in a spreadsheet all weekend.
Speaker B: Sensible. A spreadsheet is perfect for that — rows for each cost, a total at the bottom.
Speaker A: Exactly. I added a formula so the total updates the moment I change a number.
Speaker B: That's the real magic of a spreadsheet — the formulas recalculate automatically.
Speaker A: At work I also keep a spreadsheet tracking every project deadline.
Speaker B: Very handy. Though a word of warning — spreadsheets get messy when they grow too big.
Speaker A: True. What's the difference between a spreadsheet and a database?
Speaker B: A spreadsheet is flexible and visual, great for small data. A database scales to huge, structured data with strict rules.
Speaker A: So I'd use a spreadsheet for my budget, but a database for a whole company's records.
Speaker B: Precisely. And a spreadsheet is close to a table too.
Speaker A: How do those differ?
Speaker B: A table is just rows and columns of data. A spreadsheet adds formulas, formatting, and live calculation.
Speaker A: Any common mistake?
Speaker B: Writing it as two words. It's one word now — spreadsheet — even though it began as spread sheet.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Today we use spreadsheet in AI development prompts — it's a clear, everyday word for grids, exports, and data tools.

Speaker B: Prompt one.

Speaker B: Export feature now.
Speaker B: Prompt two.
Speaker A: Export to a spreadsheet as CSV — a feature almost every data app needs.
Speaker B: Import prompt.
Speaker B: Prompt three.
Speaker A: A spreadsheet import with column mapping — practical and forgiving.
Speaker B: Accounting tool prompt.
Speaker B: Prompt four.

Speaker A: A schema that stores a spreadsheet by cells — clever flexible model.
Speaker B: Final — collaboration prompt.
