About this episode

Clowns freak people out. They have weird hair, and what's with the big shoes? 10 million crying children can't be wrong. Who came up with clowns, anyway? And who came up with a Chinese lesson on clowns? Some sicko, likely... but the next time one comes up to you, at least you'll have the language to tell it to go away. Listen to this podcast and join the anti-clown campaign, Mandarin-style. Episode link: https://www.chinesepod.com/0683
