Kaiser Kuo has started Sinica, a much-needed podcast series bringing together people from academia, media, business, and other corners of the Sinosphere to discuss the issues of the day. This week’s episode featured Gady Epstein from Forbes Magazine, Tania Branigan of The Guardian, and I me talking a bit about Hu Yaobang, earthquakes, and, apparently, Song Zuying.
People new to the blog and who are interested in reading more on these topics might want to check out the following posts from the past:
“The Historical Record for April 15, 2009: The Death of Hu Yaobang” (April 15, 2009)
“List of possible embarrassing revelations in Ζhao Ζiyang Memoirs due out this summer (May 15, 2009)
And for those interested in earthquakes…
“The Historical Record for March 1: Zhang Heng’s Seismometer”
Enjoy and thanks to Kaiser for inviting me on the show.
