Hello Jeff, I really appreciate your analysis and would love to spread far and wide as there is so little positive news about China in the west outside of the all the negative propaganda. If I may make a suggestion, hire a social media marketer to get the ball rolling to make your podcast go viral. I live in Indonesia and I could even recommend one from here, cheap. Second, I am an old fart like you :), and know that if I wanted to get the word out and attract an audience, I would not do the presenting on my own but would have a younger more attractive person than myself interview me and do introductions and ask questions. As much as the bedraggled expats that surround me in Bali don't care about how they look and have this "take me as I am" attitude, this does not work in podcasts. We may think that the content of our character is more important than what we look like, it is only partially true. Humans are superficial creatures. If one is a Tucker Carlson or Rogan we can do as we want but the rest of us have to start out looking respectable until we get famous. A decent background in your podcasts and a nice shirt would also go far as a minimum. Your content is so good that I really want it to get around. Thanks for all your efforts Jeff and I hope you take the suggestions in the spirit in which they were made. BTW, I was in China by chance for Tianamen square and imported from Schenzen for decades so lots of history in China. Apart from my two Chinese wives and Chinese families in law, I have always understood the Chinese and appreciate them. Regards, Bob.
Good program, thanks!
Thanks for being here, Howard.

Hopefully, when we move to Taiwan later this year, I can set up my green screen again. Can't do it here.
Glad you've had so many great experiences with China!
Thanks again, Jeff
