I actually have the hardest time remember that you all are still doing this show. So, when it showed up into my Itunes I was so confused. I’m listening to it as I am writing this. I think had I not read the article about the chinese becoming “black Africans,” I wouldn’t know the background story from listen to your podcast. Can you kind of introduce the topic for a little longer than 5 secs.? If I was confused about it or missed the news, I wouldn’t know what you all were talking about.
