ICRT is launching a new show called HereSay that will feature stories from Taipei Story Slam events. The first broadcast will be Thursday November 6th at 9pm, and here's a little sample of what to expect from the show.

On this episode we put the same set of questions to both candidates, Sean Lien of the KMT and independent candidate Ko Wen-je, to get a sense of how their platforms compare.

We speak with Jeraldine So, a volunteer tour guide at the National Palace Museum, about what it takes to present the treasures of the museum to an English speaking audience.

Since taking up his post in Washington DC earlier this year, Ambassador Shen Lyu-Shun has been making the case for the US to up its backing for Taiwan, and on this episode he tells us a little bit about his view on the prospects for increased cooperation.

On this show we speak to US expatriate Mike Campbell who founded Taiwan based language learning company Glossika about the company's project to create audio learning kits for all of Taiwan's languages.

We take a look at the backlash caused by comments from former AIT Director Richard Bush that many interpreted to mean that the US is planning to involve itself in Taiwan's 2016 presidential election.
