  • Unhindered insight

    These guys are great. Their YouTube channel is really what you probably want though. Seeing on the screen what they’re discussing is required to fully understand what they’re discussing but I appreciate the audio version being available for people who don’t have time to watch. These guys are doing excellent reporting and they are definitely worth checking out if you’ve ever been worried about China.

  • Eye-opening and shocking

    Shocking revelations about China’s crappy, new infrastructure, sneaky thieving of IP and ongoing abuse of their own and other nation’s people. I had no idea. However the disturbing videos of the Three Gorges Dam swaying sickeningly that I’ve seen make sense. It was built too quickly with poor materials. You guys have opened my eyes. Thank you.

  • Audio feed of a YouTube channel

    I looked for this after enjoying these guys’ China road show videos on YouTube. It’s disappointing. The podcast is just the audio feed of their YouTube channel, which is pretty meaningless if you cannot see what they’re looking at and discussing. And the dumb memes make the show seem, well, dumb. That’s a pity, because these guys speak Chinese, lived there a long time, and obviously know the Chinese online scene.

    They could do a lot better.
