Kaiser Kuo, co-host of the Sinica podcast
Steven Zampanti, the leader of our PBC chapter in Minneapolis, chats with Kaiser Kuo, the founder and co-host of the Sinica podcast from SupChina. We featured two episodes of Sinica on the podcast listening list on Understanding China: “The China Questions, with Jennifer Rudolph and Michael Szonyi” and “Howard French on how China’s past shapes its present ambitions.”
Some of the things they talked about:
- UNDERSTANDING CHINA podcast listening list
- Podcasts within the SupChina network: Sinica, The Caixin-Sinica Business Brief, ChinaEconTalk, NüVoices, TechBuzz China by Pandaily, Middle Earth
- Sinica interviews about the situation in Xinjiang: interview with Gerry Shih, interview with Nury Turkel
- Live show in New York City that featured Charlene Barshefsky, who negotiated China’s entry into the WTO
- 3-part series with Chas W Freeman, Jr: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
- Kaiser notes a New York Times article that highlighted a Mandarin podcast by Amy Qin, “In China, a Podcast Inspired by ‘This American Life’ Gives Voice to the Real”
- Kaiser’s podcast recommendations:
- Hi-Phi Nation (from Slate): a show about philosophy that turns stories into ideas
- Context with Brad Harris: a show that takes books that aims to answer big questions and distills it down in a captivating and accessible way.
