Great podcast as usual. You just need to record more often. What’s the intro/outro tune?
Thanks for the feedback Will. You are right, there are two new episodes which have been recorded, one will be published within the next 48 hours, on the subject of co-working spaces and starting a business in Chengdu as a foreigner.
Great to hear. For a while, I thought I was moving to Chengdu, so I listened to all of your podcasts to get a feel for what to expect. Since then, I took a job in Shanghai but I still find your pod a great resource on the expat experience in China. It is amazing to me that their are so few podcasts that cover this topic regularly. I’m also curious about the the intro song. What’s the artist and title?
Indeed. What tends to happen is a website or individual stats a podcast, sticks with it for a while, and then it disappears (same deal with blogs). Thanks for listening.
The intro song is “Hardwork” by Illinformed, it was featured on a DJ Vadim release just a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-t5gpRULrc
Word. Yeah, I’m kicking around the idea of starting one in the next year or so from Shanghai. Thanks for the song.
You should do it. It is a fun and rewarding pursuit, and there is plenty to talk about in Shanghai.
