What it is

Yixi invites researchers, artists, doctors and craftspeople to give a prepared twenty-to-forty-minute talk about their work. Prepared monologue is the friendliest kind of native listening: the speaker has structured the argument in advance, sticks to standard Mandarin, and rarely gets interrupted. Nearly a thousand episodes across wildly different fields, free. Vocabulary is specialised and there are no transcripts in the feed, so expect to look things up.

Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Chinese (Mandarin) podcasts →
