This is CRI, Easy FM! Let’s talk to Gilbert!

I am not a big fan of Chinese radio, they talk and blabla all the time, even when they call themselves “Music box” (the only English in the conversation).
Exception made for two FM channels in Beijing: 88.7 and 91.5 – CRI. They are mostly on when I work unless some mysterious interference in Julong wrecks (both) their transmission.
China Radio International is cool and news comes in several languages. Of course they are really cool coz they regularly interview me, and better, their journalist is friendly (and cute, look yourself).

Yan Yinan of CRI bugging me again but she is convincing. For once, in a relaxed environment just before I went to the gym. Yinan took over from Chris Verril who left CRI.

Every Thursday between 11 and 12 am and between 5 and 6 pm I give a small talk about Beijing, the preparation for the Olympics (or lack of), the pollution, the disregard for disabled people, doping, even corruption (and it was NOT censored), etc. I must admit one thing: I hate to listen to my own voice, I think it’s “bu hao ting”, on the other hand I am curious to know what went through (or not). Mostly I … forget to listen anyway or I am out for meetings.
So, keep your ears to CRI EASY FM, at 91.5 FM from Beijing for China!
