It seems there are no more podcast recordings
I've been working on an unrelated project, but intend to keep up Popup Chinese over time..Right now we have a couple of shows I need to edit and put together that Grace and I did last year. Would like to record some more this spring now that Brendan is back in town as well.

Hey David, I am reading novels in Chinese now. I finished《盛世—中国2013》by 陈冠中 a few months ago and am reading《活着》by 余华 now. 《猫城记》by 老舍 is next. I doubt I would have got to this point without your help. So thank you to you and the Popup Chinese crew 2012-2015!- murrayjames

I am only just discovering popup; such a great little site and shame the updates dried up
@murrayjames,Really fond of 活着 myself. If you want something totally different, btw, you should check out The Three Body Problem (三体) and give it a try. It's a lot more like mid-century US pulp science fiction and is not that challenging. Also refreshing since it a very different kind of read than we normally get from Chinese writers.
