Here’s a nice way to end the year: Time magazine includes ChinesePod in their list of Top Podcasts for 2006. Others in the list include Ze Frank, NPR, Slate, etc. This is a great honor. (I’ve always wanted to say that.)
The author doesn’t put podcasting into any broader perspective, so maybe I will. […]

Published by December 29th, 2006 Uncategorizedin . 58 CommentsIt’s official! The London ChinesePod Meetup has been set: Friday, Dec. 29th @ The Bar Room Bar (directions here ), from 5:30p onwards. We might stay there, we might go for a meal…wherever the evening takes us. Bring as many as you like!

You may have noticed a few things in the past few days:
1. Very unfortunately, there has been an earthquake in Taiwan
2. ChinesePod just hasn’t been responding quite as promptly to your discussion comments and blog comments.
Well, low and behold, these two are related. For some reason, when we arrived back today from Christmas […]
Around the office, everyone is preparing for the upcoming holidays and I’m sure you guys are too! But before we go our separate ways, I’d like to share some more ChinesePod news with you.

We are just brimming over with Christmas cheer here - maybe its the Christmas music (the Mariah Carey Christmas CD) or maybe it’s because we get to give away an iPod every Monday afternoon, and who doesn’t love giving away things (or winning them for that matter!).
What about Miguel Hererra from Spain? Does he like […]
I could have told you who was going to be Time’s Person of the Year. If you’d asked me I simply would have asked you back, because you are the Big Brain and you know. Was that prescient of us? Nah, it’s been obvious all year!
Hat tip - Ma Ding, who pointed out the obvious […]
Many of you ChinesePod enthusiasts, I’m sure, know and love Adsotrans. You may also know David Lancashire, the man behind it.
Now it seems you will have the chance to get to know him better. Go here to understand why.
