Podcast: At Home in Dalian, China

Podcasters Marcia and Lisle Veach interviewed me a couple weeks back for their show, At Home in China. We talked about:

How might subtle differences in culture and language become a barrier to mutual understanding between people from the West and China? Marcia interviews Chris, a journalist who is currently teaching English and studying Chinese in northeastern China.
