Part 4: A Special Summer Series from Shanghai: In Context with Anita Xu
If you have spent a good chunk of your life studying and working like a robot, how would you know to wake up one day, and say “I am not a robot!” That’s Kou Aizhe’s story.
A former librarian and TV journalist, he was inspired by This American Life podcast to create his own show “Gushi FM.” The idea is to give voice to real people with real-life experiences and struggles. It’s now one of the most popular podcasts in China since it was launched in 2017, reaching 600,000 listeners and counting.
“Leaving a robotic life to create my own show” is about his thinking at various turning points and crossroads.
This interview will be in Mandarin Chinese.
