  • None of the podcast download anymore

    Is the HK government blocking the download of podcasts from HK? I’m in NY and almost all the RTHK podcast I subscribe to won’t download anymore.

  • Where did the descriptions go?

    Often some great views content but I wonder where the descriptions went. I’ve noticed that I’m a lot less likely to download an episode if I don’t know the content.

    5 stars with content descriptions but only 3 without.

  • A well presented look at many of the different corners of Hong Kong that make it the unique place that it is. Another quality programme from RTHK.

  • Brief description for each episode?

    The titles for numerous episodes are simply the dates, presumably when they were recorded. I’ve enjoyed selected episodes but I think I would invest more time with this podcast if I know what the topics are.
