Excellent new podcast series on China hosted by Kaiser Kuo

Sinica is the new podcast by longtime Beijing resident, media guru, metal shredding guitarist and all around raconteur Kaiser Kuo.  It’s a free form round table gab fest on China issues from people who, you know, actually live and work here.  First installment is digital media expert and Internet entrepreneur Bill Bishop and Danwei founder/Beijing media stalwart Jeremy Goldkorn talking about…what else?…Google.  I’m already looking forward to the next installment featuring the Imagethief himself, Will Moss.  Check it out.
