Apres Culture

This week we’re lobbing y’all a short bonus episode in the form of a chat with Sara Ann’s Chinese friends about pop culture in the People’s Republic. Movies? TV? Piracy? Kung Fu Panda? We’ve got it all, plus the best explanation of the Cultural Revolution and its impact you’ll hear on any pop culture podcast this year (guaranteed).
