In the first of many recommendation episodes to come, Brad gives a (sadly) unsponsored plug for the uncomfortably realistic Microsoft Read Aloud voices and soothes your troubled soul to sleep with one of his new favorite podcasts, 晚安粤语 Goodnight Cantonese. Use these two recommendations to slap your other unproductive, boring and painful listening tools in the 脸!

Season 3 is officially under way! Jason joins Brad for a breakdown of a powerful mental model known as "Hanlon's Razor." In this new 双语吐思 format, one dude only speaks English, the other only speaks Chinese. Your job? Think about meaningful stuff using your target language!

The Mianbao team is back and better than ever! We’ve got a new podcast that we are super excited about. It’s called 井底之挖, like the old Frog in the Well proverb, but with the 青蛙的蛙 changed to 挖掘的挖。 It’s a deep-dive podcast co-hosted by Old Man 面包 Brad Johnson and his good buddy Jason Liu.

Get a taste for Sichuan and its culture and dialects as we kick off a series of episodes on this southwestern behemoth of a province which is geographically isolated, historically significant, and utterly fascinating. Part one is an engaging interview with three natives--all hailing from different regions but also all currently living in Chengdu. The interview is conducted by 7岁 amateur reporter 果果, with some sweet 四川话 BGM provided by 衣湿乐队，罗先举，and J-Chill. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more awesome Sichuan-related content!

巴蜀文化历史悠久，除了深厚的文化底蕴外，四川话的迷人也是实力上榜。他们正常说话的时候，你以为在吵架；等到他们真的吵架，你又以为在唱rap。四川人说话有多可爱，大概就和大熊猫一样可爱吧。四川话系列第一集，我们邀请了三位来自四川不同地区、现居于成都的朋友。7岁的成都宝贝果果将担任本期特邀嘉宾，在13个提问中探寻当地人对家乡文化与方言的独特记忆。伴随着来自衣湿乐队、罗先举和and J-Chill的四川话BGM，四川，我们来啦～

Big thanks to our reporter 果果，our guests 天天妈，袁威 and 铁环， and our BGM artists 衣湿乐队，罗先举 and J-Chill.

Huh? Blue Whale Dialect?

Nope, that's just how Nanjingers say their own dialect IN their own dialect (kind of). Join Brad and Vicky in episode 3 of 南腔北调 as they explore the language, history and culture of the 'Southern 京' with Nanjing native 小王 and get in to much more than mixed up L's and N's.

南京，一座古典与现代交融的城市。

你对她了解有多少？

只有夫子庙、老门东，鸡鸣寺、玄武湖，明城墙、中山陵吗？

你知道南京话曾是中国历史上长期通用的官方标准语吗？

蓝鲸话摆的一米，阿是啊？

蓝鲸人哪个怕哪个？

小杆子你怎么这么甩？

……

本期节目让老南京人小王带领大家学习一下南京话前前后后的故事。

点击收听节目，感受南京话的“清雅流畅”和抑扬顿挫……

Xinjiang rapper 傅老大 takes us to his happy place on the 天台; dropping beats, rhymes and inspiration on his way up to the (roof)top.

有人有豪车美女，有公司有厂房，有能俯瞰整个城市的大房子。可能100人中有99个人喜欢这样的人生……

剩下的那个人有一块属于自己的天台空间，一个知心朋友，一堆兴趣爱好，一场属于音乐的梦。

幻想天台的凉意就是迷人的海风，伴着微醺的话语，述说着天台词曲。

等下！天台作者会告诉我们他和天台的故事，你真的不听完再选择吗？
