Hi Popup team,I've been a subscriber for 4 years now and absolutely love your work - it's such a fun and interesting way to learn both Chinese language and culture, and for that I sincerely thank you! However, I have to agree with minghan's comment as it's a shame that there haven't been many intermediate and advanced podcasts lately. David, I hear what you're saying about not wanting to maximise revenue at the expense of your vision and quality of content, but perhaps a bit more marketing and social media presence could be helpful? I feel that your service would be of interest to a massive number of people, but they haven't be able to discover you yet! A few friendly suggestions you could try: an open Facebook page (rather than closed group), blog, events that members can attend (in Beijing or elsewhere) and/or maybe some marketing partnerships with other innovative Chinese learning tools (such as the Kickstarter supported Chineasy, who have a very big social media presence)? As minghan suggested, I, and I'm sure the rest of your members, would be very happy to help by spreading the word - it would just be easier if there was more content in the form of social media posts, blogs, press releases etc that could be spread! Let me know if I can help, I'd love to see you guys go very far!Meng
