1年半ほど続いた「北京発、中国取材の現場から」っていうポッドキャストが2026年5月末で終わってしまって悲しいという話。
When a Favourite Podcast Ends
In this episode, I talk about a podcast I've enjoyed for years and why I was so disappointed to hear that it was coming to an end.
The conversation begins with 北京発、中国取材の現場から ("Reporting from Beijing"), a podcast that offered thoughtful reporting on China through the experiences of journalists working on the ground. Rather than focusing only on politics or headlines, it introduced everyday stories, people, and perspectives that are often missing from international news.
We reflect on what makes certain podcasts stay with us, how long-form conversations can change the way we see another country, and why hearing directly from people with lived experience feels so valuable.
Along the way, we talk about media, curiosity, travel, and the importance of looking beyond stereotypes. This is less a discussion about China itself than about the joy of finding media that helps us understand the world a little better—and the sadness of losing it.

サマリー
このエピソードでは、パーソナリティが長年愛聴していたTBSラジオのポッドキャスト「北京発、中国取材の現場から」が2026年5月末で終了したことへの寂しさを語っています。この番組は、政治や経済のニュースだけでは見えない、現地の人々の日常やジャーナリストたちの生の声を通して、中国のリアルな姿を伝えていました。パーソナリティは、個人の視点から語られるこうしたストーリーが、異文化への理解を深め、固定観念を超えて世界を見る上でいかに価値があるかを振り返り、良質なメディアを失うことへの残念な気持ちを表明しています。
