On episode 9 of the China Arts Podcast, my guest is Alex Damboianu, a Romanian architect in Beijing. He stopped by the Empire of Awesome, aka our apartment, for some coffee and morning conversation.
Former manager for Home Plate’s restaurant in Beijing’s bustling Sanlitun, Dave-Bob Gaspar, sits down with me for just the kind of good conversation befitting a man of F&B. Onward!
“External rumen!”
On this episode: Dr. Liz Ashforth, aquaponicist, improv actor and event manager joins me to talk about how she ended up in China as a microbiologist and switched gears to become a member of Beijing’s improv scene, and what it actually means for a sea worm to “lyse.” Check out more at her blog.
Daniel Richardson joins me today on this episode of the China Arts Podcast, in which I cackle overly much. Nearly a decade of experience in China has led him through Traditional Chinese Medicine, a career in lighting design, and much more.
“Sharing it in a good way with the world.”
For this episode of the China Arts Podcast, I met up with musician, former UN relief worker, Paul Meredith in his beautiful old home in Shanghai. He’s been a songster since he “started trying to get over all [his] broken hearts, and tried to write good songs.” It’s good he did, because he now has a ton of great songs, some of which you can hear live in his living room on this episode (he even let me use his tenor guitar!).
You can check out more of Paul’s music here, and his wife Caroline Cheng’s amazing pottery here.
On CAP episode #4, my guest is Ming dynasty literature expert and doctoral candidate, Ewan MacDonald. We met up at the end of the first warm day of Spring in Ditan Park.
Ewan has since left Beijing for the warmth and sun of London, to finish his doctorate, but we look forward to seeing him again real soon!
Beijing Pickers will host a jam at Caravan next Monday, the 25th, at 7:30 pm. Hope to see you!
Here’s a picture from last time:
This Monday evening, May 4, join us at Moroccan restaurant/venue, Caravan. It’s Game of Thrones screening night, too, so if you need your fix, bring your instruments, watch the show, and stay late singing the ballads of yesteryear.
Canadienne songstress and community organizer, Risa dickens, takes a breather from her China travels and joins us in this episode of the China Arts Podcast. Also joining me is actor, teacher and square dance caller, Nathan Paul.
Featuring my live bootleg recordings from her show at Jianghu Bar—part of JUE’s music offerings. Risa talks to us about working for Yelp Montreal, dances in church basements, and teaches me her original song, “ Dangerous Game.”
