Huang Wen: basketball starlet and feature of Muzi Mei podcast

Muzi Mei (aka Mu Zi Mei, muzimei and 木子美) is the female Chinese journalist whose writings about her sexual exploits get the foreign media interested in Chinese blogs every few months or so. She is also a major reason why Danwei.org has good Google rankings, because this website was the first places her writings appeared in English translation.

So, when Time magazine ran a story about Muzi Mei a few weeks ago, Danwei was bombarded with email asking about her, particularly about the web address of her new series of podcasts. Well, here it is: Muzi Mei podcasts.

The image reproduced above is a photo of female basketball starlet Huang Wen, the subject of a Muzi Mei podcast that can be downloaded Muzi Mei podcasts.
