So many "China podcasts" are just that – about Chinese history, politics or other, similarly wonky subjects. Not that there's anything wrong with that (we love us some history) but, sometimes, we yearn for the lighter side of China – and now, Kung Fu Komedy has delivered. To see their previous podcasts, click here.
This week, the Kung Fu Komedy krew chat with Spencer Dodington, architect and co-author of The Where's Where of Who's Who of Old Shanghai.
Shanghai’s history is being torn down every day, and architect Spencer Dodington is a man on a mission to capture memories of a disappearing past. He shared the stories behind the buildings in downtown Shanghai, and talked about some of the bizarre challenges that happen when building here, like the time a carpenter decided to cut off his own thumb. He’s just released a new walking tour book called The Where’s Where of Who’s Who of Old Shanghai.
Every
week, Andy Curtain tracks down the most interesting person he can find
and asks them what they're doing in China. To subscribe, add the Stuck in the Middle podcast on iTunes, or copy this link to use in your favorite podcatcher app.
