There's about asking and answering questions about what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. (my bold, at 0:28)
The above sentence sounds odd to me. Is it acceptable to native speakers?
 
She says (in an American accent) "It is about" not "there is about".
 
Although only It's/It is about ... makes sense. I hear There's about ....
 
I hear "It's about" but she doesn't pronounce the "t" in "it's" at all.
