As we say bye to season one, and a huge hello to season two, here is a raw cut of the things that did not make it into our edits (we will let you decide why...).

In this episode, we spoke to the award-winning author Paul French who wrote two great books about two grand cities: ‘Midnight in Peking’ and ‘City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir’.

In this episode, we talk to the people who create everything we know about the brands we love, and they tell us what really happens behind the scenes.

We chat with Rosie, a former fashion buyer, who shines a light on the environmental and ethical problems that face the industry and affect us all.

We talk to the founder of ICVS China, Mary Peng, about pet welfare, meat trade industry and animal protection laws.

A sneak peek of our Beijing-based podcast where each episode we discuss new themes in order to learn more about the world.
