Special Live Event: “Podcasting in the ‘Jing: A Panel Discussion”
This is a recording of a special LIVE event I was part of on July 5, 2018: “Podcasting in the ‘Jing: A Panel Discussion” along with the hosts / creators of several other great shows:
• John from China Tech Talk (Technode)
• Kate and Noah from Environment China (Beijing Energy Network)
• and Yajun from the Wo Men podcast (Radii)
We talked about the unique challenges of producing a show here as well as the best practices we’ve discovered to create them, the reasons we make our shows, the opportunities the shows have created for us, and what we hope the audience takes away from them. Enjoy!

KEITH COLLEA: Artistic Expression and Technical Evolution
#034 - Artistic Expression and Technical Evolution | Keith Collea
This week’s guest is Keith Collea. Keith has such a diverse background that it’s hard to sum up: he has training as an engineer, then military experience, then he shifted into dance and performance art that also incorporated radical video effects elements. This eclectic resume led to mainstream Hollywood filmmaking, and ultimately, to China. Keith is a much-lauded and awarded pioneer in the technology of the arts, and I think his insights into the present and future of cinema in China are as good as gold. Enjoy!

Welcome to the first show of 2018! My guest is Daniel Rothwell, a trombone-playing, ‘zine-writing, drama-educating force of nature from Essex, England. We have a splendid conversation and laugh nonstop; good times. It’s also the last show before I turn FIFTY (yikes!) this Friday, Jan 5, so I talk about that a little, plus the last days of the show FUNdraising drive, and my recent appearance on CGTN, which led to my almost starring in a...cat food commercial? Enjoy!

KYLE MULLIN: Writing & Reporting in Beijing, China
#031 - Writing & Reporting in Beijing, China | Kyle Mullin
This week’s guest is Kyle Mullin. Kyle is a Canadian journalist who works as a writer and editor at The Beijinger. In the episode we discuss Kyle’s environmentally-conscious focus, which he first discovered as a writer in college. This passion set him on a path that ended up at The Beijinger, where he writes a regular "Beicology” column (Beijing + Ecology) in addition to his food & beverage, music, and other social interests. This is my longest episode ever, but it moves fast and we cover a lot of ground; I loved going even more in-depth with this one and hope to do more like this in the future. Kyle and I discuss writing, our mutual affection for Marc Maron's WTF podcast, plus we do a special year-end look back at some of the big China stories of 2017, and much more.
This episode is sponsored by AWA Health.
