For those of us who are more intermediate but trying to stretch ourselves by listening to these: Maybe we could post somewhere our very rough descriptions of what we *think* we heard? and have you advanced folks verify? Thoughts?

I'm curious to learn more about 庞龙. Are there any English articles about him out there online?

I sense a romantic tension between Clay and Amber. Of course I could be wrong... ;)

Actually, watching another video I see her Chinese is pretty good. I think this is a pretty useful series.

Hear Street Chinese and cultural notes - Sexy Beijing TV

I just came across this YouTuber this morning:

http://www.youtube.com/user/sexybeijingTV

She is an expat in Beijing, China and goes around interviewing folks on a variety of subjects that could be of interest to ChinesePodders. I can't vouch for her Chinese being wonderful, but it's certainly not bad, and you do get to hear the replies of the local Beijingren so it can make good listening practice. Plus lots of content in English and it's subtitled as well so good for any level learner.

I can second the anecdote about the eyelid stickers. I am half-Asian and only have slightly double-lidded eyes. While living in Cambodia, a makeup artist at a photo studio there (I was there getting glamour shots!) slapped these stickers on me and covered my lids with eye shadow. The stickers weren't actually very visible once they had plastered my face with foundation and eye shadow (false lashes further disguised them...) :)
