Hi there ! I can't find out where the show \"Important Chinese things with Jenny Zhu\" is. I've got a link from an email to the page http://chinesepod.com/mobile, but as I don't have a smartphone, it doesn't work for me. I could hear the first show but now I'm lost on the website... Any help would be welcome.

Thank you so much, Mike ! I've looked for it half an hour and did not get it. And yet it was so simple...

Veronique - I am getting an error now when I try to play the shows - Is it just me?  Can you access them?

I can get all bar the latest which I have only tried to download through itunes and it comes up with some unexplained warning sign.

It seems something is wrong. We are trying to figure out the problem.

Forgot to update that the episode "Chinese Weddings" that wouldn't download for me in itunes, successfully downloads now as of a couple of days ago, but that episode was from 24th April, and there are no episodes since [would have expected one a couple of days ago]. They are huge efforts though...one episode as long as 50 minutes, so it must be hard pumping them out each week. So not sure if it's still a tech problem or not [guessing not...previously the last episode showed up in itunes it just wouldn't download].

Hopefully you have found the may 4th edition about American TV shows in China. I have to wonder if they have "Fargo", "Vikings" and or "Boardwalk Empire". Some of my latest favorites. btw- Jenny has grown into quite a polished commentator. She makes it seem so easy and I know its not.

Hi RJ

"Fargo" 《冰血暴》，"Vikings"《维京传奇》and "Boardwalk Empire"

《大西洋帝国》all seem to be available (at least as of now). The selection of shows available is staggering actually. Not just 美剧 but all kinds of shows and movies as well as a great choice of documentaries from the BBC and US networks. It seems the business model in China is based on the idea that providing content free of charge and making a bit of cash from advertising beats leaving the market entirely in the hands of the 盗版组织。Of course, when these shows are taken off the official sites, it's not difficult to imagine what will happen.

BTW, totally agree with you. These shows are terrific and Jenny is a wonderful host. The sad thing is, if it weren't for this thread, I would have missed out. They don't seem to be published in the same way as the other lessons and so completely passed me by. Maybe just my incompetance, but it would be a shame if others missed out. Also, it doesn't seem to be possible to comment without a facebook account, which seems a shame.

For some strange reason Jenny's show seems to have disappeared from my itunes podcast list. Has anyone else had this problem?

I just checked and it is still in the podcast store on itunes. Try un and re subscribing to the feed.

Thanks Sean. Not sure how to unsubscribe when I can't find it in my feed in the first place, but I'll try and work something out when I find the time.
