Podcast Pioneers — Antiwave 反波

This episode of Danwei TV's Hard Hat Show is an interview with Flypig and Ping Ke, the two Chinese bloggers who make the excellent Antiwave podcast.

We talk about Antiwave's birth and history and touch on several subjects, including media in China and how much things have changed the days, back in the 1980s, when Ping Ke's heart was set aflutter just by seeing a copy of Time magazine. Ping Ke also explains about his attitude to Japan, and his reaction to online comments to his podcast calling for a rational attitude towards China's historical enemy.

You can watch the episode below (on the Tudou server in China) and also in Youtube version on Danwei.tv, where there are also links to other ways to watch (Tudou is slow when viewed from U.S. and Europe, while Youtube is not working properly in China).

If you understand Chinese and would like to hear the whole, unedited interview, click here (全采访纪录音频) to hear it on Tudou. You have to click the play button on a video player, but there's no video, only audio.

平客这造型怎么这么80后呀-_-

Hats off to Antiwave and to Danwei for broadcasting this important and timely material! Antiwave is clearly doing groundbreaking and extremely important work for a Chinese audience, and thanks to Danwei for bringing this work into focus for an English-speaking audience.

After watching Danwei's video, I checked out Antiwave and I am listening to it now. It is pretty interesting! Reminds me of the ABC in Australia.

Books on China
Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?
