CWGI #1: From Wang Bing to Wang Hui (with Patrick Harrison)
Tuesday Oct 24, 2017
Tuesday Oct 24, 2017
The actual first episode of CURSED WITH GOOD IDEAS, fifty-something minutes of trans-timezone quipping with Patrick Harrison (UC Berkeley) and hosts Joshua Cader, Dino Chang & Gabriele de Seta.
In this episode: sharing some real good Chinese documentaries, piling hot takes on the Warkgate, being cynical about the China Quarterly fuck-up, and the usual dose of having no clue.
We're getting better at this, except for Josh who thought speakers were better than headphones.
