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.
Long time, first time (as a Hongwabing, you probably listened to WEEI, right?), and sorry for it to be for this, but it should be “me” instead of “I” in the second sentence. Again, sorry sorry, it’s a hangup of mine. Keep up the good work.
Egads! That’s the SECOND time in 24 hours I’ve had an English malfunction. Stay away from Chinese kids…It’ll rot your brain. On a side note, one of the best things about having an iPod in China is listening to WEEI on the bus to work. It’s a surreal experience to have the Al from Med-fuhd screaming in your ear about the Sawx while watching the Third Ring Road zoom past.
