If you're a long-timer in China, this is a show that needs no introduction. One of the most famous foreigners in China, Mark Rowswell (a.k.a. Dashan) shot to fame in the early 1990s after a fortuitous break on Chinese television. In this live interview with David Moser conducted at Capital M earlier this month, David and Mark talk a bit about their shared experiences on Chinese television before some light sparring in a deeper discussion of how Chinese media and the Chinese sense of humour have changed over the years.

This is a really great interview and we're delighted to be able to feature it here on Sinica. With that said, before you listen let us remind you as always that suggestions, questions and comments are always welcome in the comments section below, or on our facebook page. We also welcome correspondence by email at [email protected]. So enjoy the show, and let us know what you think.
