It is estimated that the number of active users of China’s voice economy market has reached 800 million. The information on the internet regarding “hearing” is growing importantly rich and mature. As a result, podcasting has become an increasingly popular industry. Among thousands of podcast programs, “Eye on East Asia” focuses on hot topics, cultural phenomena, and little-known historical events that occurred between China, Japan, and South Korea. “Media Talk” focuses on the fields of history, culture, and media, covering entertainment topics like film and television. Both of them have become one of the best podcasts due to the unique themes, humorous presentation, and professional communication skills, and have gradually developed their own audiences.

In this ESS, we are honored to invite Lijun Huang (Stage name: Yiru Fan) who is the host of “Eye on East Asia” and “Media Talk”. He will share his journey regarding the podcast shows as well as his perception of this industry.

In addition, in order to explore the current situation in the Media Art industry, the development of the art ecology system, and the underlying logic of art history, Mr. Huang invited Mr. Luo Yier, who is the founder of Art Talk Show and the curator of Art KOL. Apart from podcast-related topics, they will also discuss the current situation of young artists and well-educated people in the post-pandemic era and how to upgrade to epic players in this field.
