For anyone using Taryn's transcripts, here are some potential corrections (I also emailed her directly):

2:00 请听。 should be 请进。? (also on next line)
17:30 note: I had to listen to the episode to check this, and you correctly have what Pimsleur has for the tones on 洗手间, but I believe Pimsleur is totally wrong here (should be 331)
Lesson 22
12:30 现在着说, The children are here. 着 should be 请? (elsewhere too. I won't list others)
22:00 两千快人民币。 快 should be 块

17:30 It isn’t very far. 怎么说？？ typo - extra ?
17:35 不是很元。 元 should be 远
17:45 two and three lines down from previous, 元 should be 远
29:00 普通话, Wait one moment, 怎么说？. type - don't need ?
Lesson 24
2:00 式式问, In China, is taking the plane very expensive? "the" seems like it should be "a"?
5:00 要四十个小时。 四十 should be 十四 ?
9:10 到 should be 道
14:00 到 should be 道
14:05 Both 到 and 路 mean road. should be 道
20:00 是不是那条路？ missing 左边 before 那条路
25:50 The tones are falling and falling-rising. 请说, Mandarin. first tone should be rising
Lesson 25
4:00 然后，一直前走。 missing 往?

18:05 你们要呆多久了？ 了 is not needed
Lesson 29
6:30 你有要呆多久？ It looks like there's an extra 有
10:00 到达 While 到达 does mean arrive, 达 is normally 2nd tone (they say falling) and since all of the sentences later use dao...de, it's very likely that all of the sentences from here, should be 到的
10:15 我们是走天到达。 走 should be 昨, and 达 should probably be 的. This appears many times in the next few lessons.
Lesson 30
2:00 我们是美国。 missing 人
8:30 你们有没有东西？ missing 买?
15:00 跟我的桑格小孩儿一起。 桑格 should be 三个
16:00 我们八点钟到达。 missing 是
17:45 I think this reinforces the fact that it's 到的 and not 到达, since I think when there is a location, it would be 到达北京的, and not 到北京达. So, I think this (and all other cases) would be the shortened form of 到北京的
29:00 A: 我们几天早上去了天坛。 几 should be 今

I'm open to that. Even so, I'll be lucky to finish one lesson a week 'cause I've got a lot going on...
