The show follows a similar structure to inspiring podcasts such as NPR's New Music Friday. During more or less 30-minutes episodes, Will and I review and discuss 4 to 6 tracks per episode, featuring audio clips of the reviewed songs. The songs discussed have been released less than a month prior. There is no musical genre excluded, but the editorial focus will be on emerging artists, even though on occasion established or legacy acts can be featured if the track is particularly noteworthy. Only artists living in China are reviewed in this program. We systematically sign waivers with the artists or their label to ensure we do not infringe their copyright.
