Description of the podcast: The podcaster 王尼玛 is very hilarious. He always speaks in a funny voice and accent. The podcast doesn’t have any background noise. It focuses on the lastest hot issues happened in China and worldwide, sarcasm is a big feature of this program. The title of this podcast literally means “Rage Comic”, it’s a little bit like The Daily Show, but it covers more fields. Wang’s speaking speed is a little bit fast, so it might be a small challenge for your listening comprehension. Still, having an advanced level in Chinese is a must to understand this podcast.

It’s probably at the more difficult end of Chinese podcasts due to the speed and the slang used.
