BD on "AMERICANS IN CHINA"

To mark the one-year anniversary of my podcast, I'm working on a special live event - details coming soon - as well as preparing to spill a few other pieces of news. So it was nice to see this episode of "Americans in China" that Ioana Gomoi directed that talks a bit about that:

Thanks to Ioana and her team for the fun piece. More soon!

BRENDAN DAVIS ON "FEI'S WORLD" PODCAST

Today the new episode of Fei Wu's podcast "Fei's World" was released, and it features me - "Big Fish in the Middle Kingdom" host Brendan Davis.

You can read Fei's excellent Show Notes and find the episode here: https://www.feisworld.com/blog/brendan-davis

In it, we discuss my unsettled childhood, spending my 20s as an aspiring pro rock guitarist, my years as a film and TV technician based out of Atlanta, Georgia, how 9-11 spurred my move to Los Angeles to commit to my creative filmmaking career, and ultimately, my interest in and eventual move to China. 

Basically: If you REALLY want to know what makes me tick, this is a great starting point.

The episode also contains practical tips for happy expat living and lots of laughs, so it's not all "heavy", but it is by far the most personal, in-depth interview anyone has ever done with me, and I think Fei and her team did a great job putting it together with skill and sensitivity. It inspires me to up my game, and if you listen to it, I hope you enjoy. 

Brendan Davis interviewed on "12 Minute Convos w/ Engel Jones"

Podcaster and entrepreneur Engel Jones (https://twelveminuteconvos.com/) interviewed me for his fun, very short podcast "12 Minute Convos w/ Engel Jones". Engel is from the island nation of Trinidad & Tobago and has a very unique format for his show. In a (slightly longer than 12 minute) discussion, I ramble about my podcast inspirations ("WTF with Marc Maron", "The Tim Ferriss Show", "Rune Soup", and "How I Built This, with Guy Raz" in particular), meditation, "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker" by The Ramones, prenatal memories, fireflies at night in the American South, and much much more.

We actually don't even really talk too much about China, now that I think about it. Wow.

Anyway, it was big fun for me, and if you check it out, I hope you enjoy it! Search it in your favorite podcatcher, or listen / directly download via the links below.
