This episode, we share the Hello Uncle Foreigner origin story and talk in depth about how we defined ourselves and created our different series.
Going from an idea that "Hey, we could do this vlogging thing just as well as anyone else. Better, even!" to a fully functional channel with several different shows ... this took some work. Here, we talk about that process, as well as why it was important to us to be able to create a framework for what we were doing overall, as well as a sort of "elevator pitch."
See where it all started at HelloUncleForeigner.com.
Of course, there's also some behind the scenes anecdotes from our latest video, "Mega-Shorts": https://youtu.be/KHTiX3yUNCI

No Vomit Report this week. But we all feel good about that. And, In Chinese, the phrase I was struggling to find was 噼里啪啦 (pili pala) and it's the sound of fireworks. (Which, I guess this is my tacit recommendation for ChineseClass101.com -- They're the rare online Chinese learning outfit that has decent lessons and the intermediate level.)
Live, from Luzhou, Sichuan, China ... we're talking about China vlogging.
