between the two sentences:

Difference between "今日の会話これ意味わかりました？" and "今日の会話の意味わかりました？""
Well, we can all agree that those sentences are just omitting particles. In my
mother language it's a very a common thing to not say the grammatical words
especially when speaking casually and fast simply because when you start to
speak, the sentence is not all made in your head yet and instead of saying the
rest in a wrong way because it won't fit, you just say the words scattered. It
seems to be the case.

answer
I haven't listened to the podcast but from the script

> Naomi: ピーターさん、今日の会話これ意味わかりました？ **ダイアログの中に下駄箱を開けると、手紙が落ちる。**
>
> Peter: So I think I understand. In the dialog script it says, he opens the
> door to his shoe box, and out falls a letter. But shoe box is really shoe
> box as in ???(00: 07: 22) the English speaker would know it. Such as a box
> ???(00: 07: 25). It’s more like a little locker that you put your shoes in.

今日の会話これ意味わかりました? means 今日の会話の中 **で/の** これ **の** 意味わかりました?= _In today's
conversation, did you see the meaning of this?_

これ refers specifically to the bold part in the above quote. Naomi asks this
because shoeboxes as found in Japan (with doors) is not common abroad.

今日の会話(の)意味わかりました? would mean _Did you understand the whole conversation of
today?_
