Very smart show!
A great show, unique in tone and content in the China-related podcasting world. Jordan is clearly highly intelligent, deeply and broadly knowledgeable. I like the youthful energy of the show, and the sense that Jordan is pushing for better writing, talking, and analysis on China in general by highlighting things like Chinese-language sources that should be obvious to western China "experts" but are weirdly overlooked. Could the show benefit from better editing and production? Yes. Do certain episodes sometimes veer into too-narrow corridors of China/tech/defense/policy nerd smugness? Yes (like the recent episode with Lisa Porter...huh?). But overall, I welcome a podcast like this that really gets into the weeds rather than defaulting to a wider China-clueless audience. I love the musical choices, although some go on too long -it would be really nice to get a few words about the songs being featured. Keep going, keep polishing, and thank you for the great work so far! 加油!Read full review »

I appreciate Jordan’s ability to have hard-nosed policy discussions without being a perma-hawk and while retaining some sense...Read full review »

The last few guests, barring the Chip Avengers, AI and S&T guys, have sounded like daytime TV. Remember when some former spy or military uniform would make the rounds on CNN, Fox et al, and claim that secret intelligence or anonymous sources told him a war with country X was inevitable?...Read full review »
