Popular Reviews of ChinaTalk

Goes out via the estimable Lawfare. Substantively often very good and relatively timely. Draws solid China expertise for interesting observations, as on recent episodes with Rhodium's Dan Rosen and Aussie journalist Richard McGregor. The host, however, Jordan Schneider, is absolutely insufferable and frequently a cause to terminate the listening session. In an irritating, piping, high-pitched squeal of a voice, he acts as though his job is standup, but with very bad material, butts in with irrelevancies, adds absolutely nothing to the exchange. Wonder what his dead-serious guests might think of his shtick. Substantively, podcast content is 4.5 to 5, host is 1, bringing me to a net 3.0.
