Over the past decade, podcasts have emerged as an important form of alternative media, offering intimate yet public spaces for storytelling, emotional exchange, and shared reflection, particularly for young women navigating rapid social change. Qing Wang is the co-founder and co-host of The Weirdo Podcast (不合时宜), a leading independent Chinese-language podcast with over one million followers, dedicated to amplifying progressive and non-conformist voices. This event will be a dialogue between Qing Wang and the faculty host Qin Gao to explore the rise of independent podcasting in China and its convergence with feminist awakening and collective feeling among a younger generation.
This event is part of the 2025-2026 Asia in Action event series. This event is hosted by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and co-sponsored by the China Center for Social Policy.
