  • 159 - S4-E10 - Radio Wars

    John recently visited the National Radio Museum in Minxiong Township, Chiayi County. This led to some research on the use of radio for propaganda. Whether harnessed by the imperial Japanese military or the CIA, “Free China” or the People’s Republic of China, radio waves were important weapons in a cross-strait battle to tell their version of the truth. Enjoy some classic Chinese communist radio broadcast gems that assure all compatriots that the brilliant sun of Mao Zedong will soon illuminate every part of Taiwan. (Happily, not.)

  • 158 - FORMOSA FILES IN CHINESE! CH04-芭比娃娃 M.I.T.—臺灣製造的世界傳奇

    LISTEN TO THE STORY OF BARBIE: MADE IN TAIWAN ⁠⁠⁠IN CHINESE!


    芭比娃娃是陪伴許多人童年的娃娃,2023年甚至還有一部以芭比娃娃為題材的電影發行,也再一次讓這個世界級的娃娃成為熱門話題。然而有許多人不知道,從1960年代起一直到1980年代,全世界有超過一半以上的芭比娃娃都是在臺灣生產製造。當時芭比娃娃的美泰兒公司(Mattel, Inc.)與臺灣的華夏塑膠策略聯盟,在臺灣臺北縣泰山鄉(現在的新北市泰山區)設立「美寧工廠」,生產芭比娃娃並外銷到世界各地。如果是年紀稍大一點的聽眾朋友,搞不好您以前的芭比娃娃就是M.I.T.的喔!重要單字:icon、packaging

  • 157 - S4-E9 – Chen Shui-bian 陳水扁: The Middle Years – From Law School to First Prison Term

    When Chen Shui-bian 陳水扁 began his university studies in 1969, gifted student though he was, few could have imagined he would become Taiwan’s first non-KMT president. The young Chen had no political plans – he wanted to study business and make money for his impoverished family in rural Tainan. One day during his first semester, he heard a speech by an independent candidate who publicly criticized the autocratic rule of the KMT. Chen was fascinated. Listen to this week’s story to learn how Chen changed majors, and despite being called “boring” by a few young women he liked, eventually wed Wu Shu-chen 吳淑珍, the daughter of a wealthy Tainan doctor. Plus, Chen’s involvement in the Kaohsiung Incident of 1979, a turning point for the democracy movement and for Chen. And we end with Chen’s first stint in prison; not the more recent sentences for corruption, but in the mid-1980s for libel.
