This week sets a new record for introspective profanity as we reverse our usual format, in a show that features David Moser and Mary Kay Magistad turning the tables on Jeremy Goldkorn and Kaiser Kuo with an interview that explores how both view Sinica’s relationship with the world of academic Sinology as well as China-related journalism, and question to what extent both are relevant and irrelevant in this digital age.

As long-standing guests on our show with roots in the academic and journalism fields respectively, David and Mary Kay are more than qualified to hold Kaiser and Jeremy to account. David Moser is one of the most well-regarded Sinologists in Beijing, and works as the Academic Director for the CET program in Beijing. Mary Kay Magistad is a veteran China correspondent for Public Radio International with over 20 years of experience living in and reporting on Asia.
