“As an Americans who lived in China for 5 years, I’ve enjoyed listening to the insights from various guests on the podcast. They’ve given people like me who follow China affairs some food for thought.
Although the content has been excellent, I would agree with the previous comment and strongly suggest to not continuously ask compound questions. I feel that if I was also a guest on the show like many previous others, I would feel the compound questions to be a bit long-winded.
Whenever listening to a podcast, I want to feel that the guest(s) and the host are having a conversation around a theme that allows us to hear stories or perspectives we haven’t been exposed to. At the same time, many listeners want the conversation to keep progressing.
Lastly, as a guest I would prefer the host to ask concise questions. It’s perfectly acceptable to have conversations in between questions for a few seconds, but it shouldn’t become too sidetracked. A guest should walk away feeling good about the conversation, feel their insights were valued, and want recommend them podcast to others.
Overall, I wish this podcast nothing but success and hope that it becomes one of the best China-focused podcasts.”
