FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The audio is in Chinese. How can I understand it?

Each episode on this site comes with an English title, summary, and show notes so you can follow along without speaking Chinese. But if you want to go deeper, you can download the MP3 directly from any episode page and use AI tools to process the audio yourself. Tools like Podwise, NotebookLM, Manus, and Claude can transcribe, translate, summarize, or let you have a full conversation with the content. There are many ways to turn Chinese audio into English understanding — we encourage you to explore them.

How accurate are the English summaries?

The English titles, summaries, and show notes are generated using translation and summarization. They aim to be accurate and useful, but they are not verbatim transcripts. Proper nouns — names of people, companies, and products — are preserved as accurately as possible. For the full original conversation, please listen to the Chinese audio directly.

How often is new content added?

Crossing publishes new episodes weekly. This site syncs automatically with the RSS feed, so new episodes appear here shortly after they are published. English summaries are generated for each new episode as part of the sync process.

Where can I listen to the original podcast?

You can find the original Chinese podcast on 小宇宙 (Xiaoyuzhou), Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

I'm Koji (杨远骋), the host of Crossing. I'm always happy to connect — whether you're curious about China's AI ecosystem, want to share a story, or just want to say hi. I love being a super connector between the global and Chinese AI communities.
