Ep 194 | John Eastwood | Lost Episodes

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   This lost episode of Talking Taiwan features John Eastwood, co-managing partner at Eiger Law. In the original interview with John which was recorded October 2012, John talks about attending the Democratic National Convention of 2012, his involvement with the Democratic National Committee and Democrats Abroad, and the significance of the Japanese Taihoku prison wall in Taipei.   Stay tuned for my follow up interview with John next week as we check in with him 10 years later to get an update from him.   For the month of June we'll be slowing things down by sharing lost episodes every other week, and in July we'll be taking a break from the lost episodes.
