Baejing China Podcast

Hi Baes, bye Baes - this is the final blooper episode of season one! This episode is a raw cut of all the things that did not make it into our show (some, for very obvious reasons), and a little wrap-up of the BaeJing podcast as we know it so far. We will be back with a season two before you know it, so please keep your ears out for shorter, punchier episodes with more guests at a higher frequency. Speak to you soon (we promise)!

In this episode, we spoke to the award-winning author, Paul French, who wrote two great books about two grand cities: ‘Midnight in Peking’ and ‘City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir’. Paul told us all about why drinking green smoothies is not the answer to our health woes, but surprisingly, Tsingtao might be, and of course what inspired his literary non-fiction titles.

In this episode, we talk to the most mysterious people on planet earth: advertisers and marketers of today. Our first guest is the creative Tory Benyon, who is a marketing executive over at the Mosto Group that covers Moka Bros, La Social and Mosto here in Beijing. While our second is Charlie Sampson, an incredibly experienced advertising specialist and former CEO of huge creative firms Saatchi & Saatchi and Y&R in China. From tattoo parties to Toyota misunderstandings, these are the people that create everything we know about the brands we love, and here they tell us what really goes on behind the scenes. Music: Dougie Wood - Sax Attack

In this episode, we talk to Rosie, a former fashion buyer who worked in the UK and in China. Rosie tells us all about the horrors of the world she was once part of, lets us know just how much water is used for a single pair of jeans (and it is more than you think), and shares her experiences working with factories. We also try, and somewhat fail, to solve the entire fast fashion industry crisis, but find ways to make a difference as individuals. Sound Design: Will Yen Music: Dougie Wood - Sax Attack

In our first ever episode, we talk to Mary Peng, the founder of International Centre for Veterinary Services (ICVS), about pet welfare, the meat trade industry, animal protection and laws. We also hear a little bit of a segment from the Ellen Show where Will Smith chats about the pets he adopted from no place other than Beijing, and go to visit the cutest pups known to man.
