    Sometime around the year 2000, journalist Larry Schuster decided he needed a new challenge, so he did something pretty extraordinary - pulling up stakes and relocating to Shanghai, China.

    Episode 8: Finding Good Help These Days

    Hiring has always been hard, but has it actually gotten harder?

Mike, Matt, and David get downright curmudgeonly with the help of Laurie Jakobsen of Jaybird Communications (http://www.jaybirdcom.com/).
