Faye discusses the aims of the show and introduces her assistant Charlie. She then reads a letter from a viewer who says the Pepsi jingle is the same as an English folk song. Band leader Ralph Flanagan comes out and plays different versions of the song, John Peele, on the piano. He then introduces folk musician Susan Reed who plays and sings the folk song. Next, Faye talks about the Blueprint for Understanding, released by the Institute of International Education and introduces Ina van Hee, a Dutch foreign exchange student, who talks about her experiences in the United States so far - she is on an exchange program at the University of Maine. Faye invites her to stay in New York City as a guest of Pepsi for a few days and then come back to the show to share her impressions of the city.
