About Rhyming Chaos

The podcast comprises interviews with people who have lived through or studied periods of great change, upheaval, chaos, and authoritarian takeover. The newsletter is, so far, essays by me, Jeremy Goldkorn. I was raised in South Africa, came of age in China, and now live in Nashville, Tennessee, in Musk and Trump's America.

I also edit and publish The China Week newsletter. I tweet regularly on Bluesky.
