Here is an older episode that we recorded back in the late Summer of 2019, featuring singer/songwriter, visual artist, and marijuana activist Ana Gomulka. She’s the lead singer and guitarist for the band Honey Monsoon, and she tells us about meeting Taylor Greenshields a handful of years ago, and how that led to the formation of this multifaceted funk/soul/dance ensemble. Everyone in the band are visual artists, and that informs the specific energies that they are intent on conjuring at their live shows for their audiences. Gomulka’s work can be seen on the album covers of both of Honey Monsoon’s recent album’s, including Opal Soul, from March of 2019. We cover a lot of ground here, especially when it comes to bands and the types of music that are often associated with partaking of marijuana. I make a dig at some 70’s bands, and Chad stands up for his love of hair metal, and we talk about the J-word: “jam…” But on a serious note, Gomulka’s art is incredible, her voice is amazing, and the band’s music has this supernatural holistic healing energy. We also talk about Gomulka’s poetry, and how that informs her songwriting. Currently, Honey Monsoon are in the studio working on two new tracks, also finishing up a remix project of a track from Opal Soul with Detroit-area electronic artists. We also talk about the power of allowing yourself to be vulnerable, whenever possible. ***Important show note, though: my intention was to sample one of their songs, "Who You Are," but I definitely sent the wrong song to Chad when he was producing this... NEVERTHELESS :) You get to hear a bit of one of my very favorite songs by Honey Monsoon, "Cloud!" You can click the bandcamp link below to hear more songs, including "Who You Are." https://www.facebook.com/honeymonsoon/ https://honeymonsoon.bandcamp.com/releases Photo by Allen Zhang

In episode 35 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about competitors to the reigning Chinese social media champion, WeChat. Specifically, they focus on three apps that all decided to launch on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, two weeks before Chinese New Year: Bytedance's Duoshan, Wang Xin's self-proclaimed “anti-WeChat” Toilet, and Bullet Messenger 2.0. Following their releases, WeChat promptly blocked links to all three. Our co-hosts ask: Does WeChat have a reason to be scared? Why was it so defensive? Is there truly a chance for any of these companies to topple Allen Zhang's miraculous creation? And if so, how would that come about? Rui and Ying-Ying begin by giving their perspective on WeChat's two main weaknesses. The first is its decreasing representation of young users, specifically, teenagers — a challenge that many other social networks that have been around for a while, including Facebook, also face. The second is the emergence of WeChat Moments as a battleground for user time. This development is a function of the intermingling of personal and professional relationships within one app, and the ensuing messy social graph that WeChat has accumulated. Our co-hosts go on to explain that all three of the apps that were launched this week tried to capitalize on one of the opportunities WeChat leaves open. They describe each product in more detail, delving into them in descending probability of success. Rui and Ying-Ying's top pick is Bytedance's Duoshan. They discuss: In what ways has the product stayed true to its short-video roots? How accurate is the Toutiao insider description of the app as a combination of “Snapchat's framework” plus “Instagram and Messenger's GIF function” and “Apple Watch's heartbeat”? Does it truly solve an organic user problem? As for Toilet, which proudly calls itself “the social network dark web,” just how reminiscent is it of the bygone Secret app in the U.S.? What is the opportunity that its founder sees in anonymous social networking, which, in fact, already exists in China, including in QQ itself? In third place is celebrity-investor-backed Bullet Messenger's 2.0 version. It has renamed itself Chat Treasure (聊天宝 liáotiān bǎo) and rebranded with a new logo, an image of a smiling gold ingot. The ingot serves as an apt reflection of the app's new positioning as a portal for poorer users who seek to make some money or find great deals. Rui and Ying-Ying argue that its main competitive advantage is its marketing and aggressive, gamified user acquisition tactics. Listen to find out: What do Rui and Ying-Ying conclude about each of these new entrants, and why? As always, you can find these stories and more at pandaily.com.

This week saw a multitude of messaging app announcements. First was WeChat's Open Class PRO featuring a four-hour speech from Allen Zhang. Then, on the same day, Bytedance announced their own messaging app (Duoshan 多闪), what appears to be a clone of Snapchat, and Bullet Messenger announced their upgrade and rebrand to Liaotianbao (聊天宝). All three events, and the recent update to WeChat 7.0, raise interesting questions about the messaging market, WeChat's primacy, and the ascendancy of Bytedance.

In episode 34 of TechBuzz China, co-hosts Ying-Ying Lu and Rui Ma talk about the latest version of WeChat, which first came out on iOS the third week of December 2018, and on Android a few days later. It has been over four years since WeChat released an update this large, and since then, it's added on over half a billion monthly active users. The latest updates included several widely expected features, namely, enhanced sharing of both video and content, which overlap with Bytedance's core strengths — definitely not a coincidence. What's the latest behind what is still arguably the most influential internet product of the past decade? And what has been the impact of WeChat's founder on its product development? Rui and Ying-Ying share that WeChat was created by Zhang Xiaolong, or Allen Zhang, who joined Tencent via the internet giant's acquisition of Foxmail. He was originally tasked with heading up the Tencent R&D center and leading the QQ Mail team. As the now legendary — and publicly confirmed — story goes, Allen had a flash of insight, inspired by the traction the Canadian Kik Messenger had amassed in just 15 days. He sent a late-night email to Tencent CEO Pony Ma about the opportunity and the potential threat to existing Tencent products from this kind of mobile-based instant messaging. Pony agreed, and entrusted Allen to execute the release of Tencent's own version. Just a few months later, Allen's team released the WeChat version 1.0. Our co-hosts explain that, though hard to imagine today, WeChat had an extremely rocky start and experienced several shaky periods during its growth. Looking back, it was by no means a sure-bet product from the beginning. Rui and Ying-Ying take listeners on a journey through the app's turbulent history, through its various version iterations, and up to the present day. Throughout, they explain the impact of Allen Zhang's ethos: Our co-hosts argue that he is an artist and a philosopher at heart who cares more about the user experience than about business metrics. How have these values shaped WeChat's most recently stated primary missions: to be a great tool for the users it serves, and to constantly evolve and change in order to do so?
