Banquet Etiquette - BST offers such intriquing insights into Chinese culture.  David's knowledge and story-telling style promote language learning as well as history.

A tip for the cohost:  Please let David do the story telling--as in the Emperor story behind the table tap toasting--and translate as needed.  This gives us listeners a chance to hear narratives from a native language speaker with a some help from you.  The exchange between the two of you is delightful when you don't overpower him.
