Chinese Soundbites by ChinesePod and Shanghaiist
22Aug2008 Filed under: learning with ChinesePod, news Author: Jenny ZhuIn the midst of a million significant events around the globe, today also marks the inaugural episode of Chinese Soundbites, a new weekly podcast about buzzwords in China. Amber and myself host the show. It’s a collaboration between ChinesePod and Shanghaiist, a massively popular blog about life and survival in Shanghai.
Of course, nothing is more buzzword-sy than Liu Xiang right now. In a bittersweet fashion, his pullout is the subject of this week’s show.

About this blog
Hi, I am Jenny Zhu from ChinesePod.com. I bring you a slice of the Chinese language and culture in the daily podcast. But there is so much more than what a podcast has time for, so jennyzhu.com is a space of observation and reflection on the big, small and everything in between about China.

i guess from my perspective yao ming has a stronger appeal than liu xiang because of yao’s success in the nba. no chinese or asian has ever accomplished what yao has done in the world’s top professional basketball league. i personally didn’t think yao ming would have come this far when he first started in the nba. in addition, yao ming achieved his success living in a different country.
now that i know the meaning of 好样的，我觉得Jenny和Amber都是好样的！:)

Guys,
Thank you for supporting the new show.
迈克,
It’s not available on iTunes yet. But by the look of it, it probably wouldn’t be long before you see CB on iTunes.
Greg,
Thanks a lot! I wish I could one day proudly sign off with ‘world traveller’.
P.S. are you related to John Pasden?
