Ep 19 - Lewis Birch Returns
Lewis Birch (the previously most listened to China and in person podcast guest) returns to the show on one of his final nights in the country. Having been friends nearly three years, he’s one of the easiest people to shoot the shit with I’ve met. Give a listen and I think you’ll see why. Stay safe out there.

Ep 18 - Emma
Emma was a tinder date turned friend. She was born and raised in China and studied in the UK and Australia. We talk about her passion for standup comedy, unhealthy personal standards, working with people of different ages, how self analysis can be a trap, her desire to make Shanghai’s expat community stronger, and awkward interactions we shared. Stay safe out there.

Ep 16 - Paddy Body
Patrick “Paddy” Body is one of my oldest friends in Shanghai. He’s traveled the world, edits a business magazine, and is addicted to puns. We’re also neighbors. We talk about lockdown, living abroad, the differences between Americans and English (he’s English), how charity is a scam, and the last hour is almost exclusively Star Wars related. Enjoy. Stay safe out there.

Ep 15 - William Kahler
I’m talking with my baby brother, the one and only William “Yung Squil” Kahler. We talk about television and our love for animation, relationships and how they make us grow, and how cops overdosing from accidentally touching fentanyl is a big joke. Plus some other stuff. He’s a cool guy. I think you guys will enjoy. As always, thanks for listening, and stay safe out there.

Ep 14 - Robert Hill Bronson Returns
For season 2 (that’s what I’m calling it) we’ve got my lifelong friend Robert Hill Bronson back on the show. We talk about Shanghai lockdown, why talking and learning about things can be a waste of time, how podcasts are definitely a waste of time, and how there are too many ways humanity is doomed to even comprehend! But it’s fun sometimes, I promise. Rob wants me to clarify, the last hour and a half is the best.
