Episode Synopsis

In the 10th episode of the Language Vlog Podcast, we discuss how the Beijing autumn is now settling upon the city and touch on how the Chinese holiday "make up work day" system works. This episode also marks our foray into the land of podcast streaming, as we are now on all the major broadcast channels. I also discuss a little bit about a new habit I'm trying to form each and every morning: reading some Russian before going about my day (and before I fit in my Chinese studies, too!) We talk a little bit about the hutong neighbourhoods here in Beijing and an electric pipa performance that was put on at a recent event in GuoMao.  This podcast serves as a complement to Steven's YouTube channel focused on language learning and living abroad.
