Antiwave: Web 2.0 is Breaking Down Traditional Barriers in Chinese Media
January 30th, 2007 by MarkHere’s a Danwei video interview with the two founders of Antiwave, arguably China’s most influential podcast. “When I was a kid, my father used to tell me stories about the Japanese during the war. But history sometimes should just be left as history.”Pingke, a veteran of over a decade in the traditional radio business and Flypig, a popular blogger, explain how they created the Antiwave podcast to get around the traditional restrictions of the media. While they obviously still have to obey they law, they can say things and address topics that nobody in the traditional media would touch… such as the extreme anti-Japanese sentiments now so common in Chinese youth.
