Stop talking about videos we can’t see

Spent 30 minutes listening to garbage

Eye-opening and shocking

Shocking revelations about China’s crappy, new infrastructure, sneaky thieving of IP and ongoing abuse of their own and other nation’s people. I had no idea. However the disturbing videos of the Three Gorges Dam swaying sickeningly that I’ve seen make sense. It was built too quickly with poor materials. You guys have opened my eyes. Thank you.

Audio feed of a YouTube channel

I looked for this after enjoying these guys’ China road show videos on YouTube. It’s disappointing. The podcast is just the audio feed of their YouTube channel, which is pretty meaningless if you cannot see what they’re looking at and discussing. And the dumb memes make the show seem, well, dumb. That’s a pity, because these guys speak Chinese, lived there a long time, and obviously know the Chinese online scene. They could do a lot better.

Informative and so funny!

This show has its own meme universe, and it’s so fun once you learn all the jokes. Oh, and you guys skipped my area code 224! (You can also include 847 with it, since 224 is an extension of 847)

Great balance of information and entertainment

I’ve watched this show on YouTube for years and listen to the podcast when I can’t sit down to watch. They love China and they tell it how they see it. The fact that they’re constantly attacked by CCP minions shows that they’re probably saying something the Chinese Communist Party doesn’t want them to expose.

Fair insight-to-clickbait ratio

I wish the guys would tone down the sensationalist headlines (they seem more appropriate for YT), and occasionally I wish there was more audio explanation about the video content shown to live viewers (serpentza usually does OK job at it but sometimes forgets), but in the meat of an episode they have the facts, some of which I can confirm from other inside sources with first-hand experiences. I have been following their ADV channel from back when they were less political and knowing the story I can see why they went off the deep end a bit, so to speak.

It only gets better

I’ve been following these guys for a long time now. I was fascinated with their adventures in China on motorcycles and I always enjoyed the helmet cams and constant communication between the two as they went off the beaten path. I love to explore and watching their YouTube channel was like being there. I’ve seen how they genuinely hoped China was an up and coming place to live and I’ve also watched how they had to flee China due to the communist leaders stamping out of all free media. They have gotten so much better and producing a fantastic show. Never a dull moment. I do miss the travel and adventures. They have always been a source of accurate information. They do not put of information without backing it up with lots of research. It’s one of the few places in the news today that this can be said. I hope that someday they will have more motorcycle trips and something new to talk about to keep their channel and podcast going for a very long time.

Listener from Taiwan

Keep up the good work! I love those expose videos about CCP’s propaganda. Voice out the opinions of those who can’t speak. Great Job.

Pulling Back The Curtain

Entertaining, informative, nuanced, sometimes funny, sometimes infuriating, sometimes scary, sometimes depressing, but always..."Great!" For those who seek to better understand the realities of life in today's China, there is no greater resource for the English speaking world than the very important and timely work that Winston (serpentza) and Matt (laowhy86) here are doing.

These guys are fantastic

Best podcast on China there is!

Want to know what is happening in China? What to understand the culture and put the current events? Want a balance of levity and serious, “I can’t believe I just heard that” reporting? This is the show for you! It is the only podcast I’m addicted to and I must have my weekly fix. You won’t be bombarded with CCP (CPC) approved messaging on this show. You will get true, unfiltered China! These guys are not getting paid by by the CCP, CCPCP, CPC or any other acronym for the Chinese government. They are regularly targeted by the wrath of the fifty cent army. So you know their content is juicy! Click play, sit back, and be prepared to be entertained. Oh, and the memes are glorious.

Opium Wars

I was hoping you were going to talk about what Britain did to China. I have been thinking they were doing a payback to the west. Take a look at the history and would be interested in your thoughts.

The truth about the CCP

Thanks for giving us actual information about what China and the CCP are actually doing

Not "Clean Lyrics"

This podcast is mislabled. It does not have clean lyrics.

Incredibly Important

One of the most important podcasts out there. Living in a time where an honest discussion about the dangers of tyranny and authoritarianism is hard to find, this podcasts discusses the nuanced topics that need to be addressed.

Great podcast

As China’s influence grows, there is a great need for people in the west, and the United States in particular, to understand the nature of the Chinese Communist Party. Winston and Matt are fluent in mandarin and have lived in China for 10+ years. They provide insight into what is going on in China from a western perspective that needs to be communicated to the wider US public. Unfortunately, the leadership of China under Chairman Xi is an ugly, disgusting form of government. The CCP is not only a threat to the democratic governments of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, but it is a threat to the Chinese people. The genocide against the Uygher minority in Xinjiang is a crime against humanity.

You gotta understand!

This is the best podcast about China.

Good show

It is a good show. C-Milk will never call out a democrat for not fighting the CCP, but otherwise it is a very good show.

It’s Incredible!

Keep going guys!

Great podcast

Been following both of your videos on YouTube for awhile now, and I enjoy this podcast as well. Great commentary and insight to current events revolving around China. Thanks a bunch!

Very informative/Sound quality issues

Podcast is pretty good guys, but the sound quality is a huge problem. Volume goes from medium quiet to loud... This is especially a problem when ads up come.

Indispensable

An amazing pair of individuals with some truly worthwhile insights to share on China - extremely relevant at this time. Highly recommended - check out their multiple youtube channels as well.
Jun Yamasaki

Current content very niche

These guys really know their stuff about China. But now that they are in America it would be good to see them cover more content about America if they want to expand their ADV media as a media platform.
Okite Imasu

These guys are solidAF!

Without a doubt... They know their stuff on The Delusional CCP. I've only just discovered their shows, but they are legit. Keep them dialed in.
