In the first of many recommendation episodes to come, Brad gives a (sadly) unsponsored plug for the uncomfortably realistic Microsoft Read Aloud voices and soothes your troubled soul to sleep with one of his new favorite podcasts, 晚安粵語 Goodnight Cantonese. Use these two recommendations to slap your other unproductive, boring and painful listening tools in the 臉!
Season 3 is officially under way! Jason joins Brad for a breakdown of a powerful mental model known as "Hanlon's Razor." In this new 雙語吐思 format, one dude only speaks English, the other only speaks Chinese. Your job? Think about meaningful stuff using your target language!
The Mianbao team is back and better than ever! We’ve got a new podcast that we are super excited about. It’s called 井底之挖, like the old Frog in the Well proverb, but with the 青蛙的蛙 changed to 挖掘的挖。 It’s a deep-dive podcast co-hosted by Old Man 面包 Brad Johnson and his good buddy Jason Liu.
Get a taste for Sichuan and its culture and dialects as we kick off a series of episodes on this southwestern behemoth of a province which is geographically isolated, historically significant, and utterly fascinating. Part one is an engaging interview with three natives--all hailing from different regions but also all currently living in Chengdu. The interview is conducted by 7歲 amateur reporter 果果, with some sweet 四川話 BGM provided by 衣濕樂隊，羅先舉，and J-Chill. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more awesome Sichuan-related content! 巴蜀文化歷史悠久，除了深厚的文化底蘊外，四川話的迷人也是實力上榜。他們正常說話的時候，你以為在吵架；等到他們真的吵架，你又以為在唱rap。四川人說話有多可愛，大概就和大熊貓一樣可愛吧。四川話系列第一集，我們邀請了三位來自四川不同地區、現居於成都的朋友。7歲的成都寶貝果果將擔任本期特邀嘉賓，在13個提問中探尋當地人對家鄉文化與方言的獨特記憶。伴隨著來自衣濕樂隊、羅先舉和and J-Chill的四川話BGM，四川，我們來啦～ Big thanks to our reporter 果果，our guests...
