Jason is joined by writer Wang Ping for a wide-ranging interface about the infinite potential of the body, what makes Gary Snyder a true master, doing the work in your dreams, invisible whips, dragons and rivers, and how it's not possible to walk into the wrong room. This episode also features WRTES's first reading in Chinese, with Ping reading her translation back into Chinese of Gary Snyder's English translation of a Han Shan Cold Mountain poem. That doesn't happen every episode. Don't miss it.

Thanks to Wayne Emde for the artwork, Joe Emde for help with the intro, DJ Max in Tokyo for the wizard music, and you, wherever & whoever & however you are, for listening. And, if you feel like it, check out the podcast I co-host with Scottish writer & pal Iain Maloney, Books About Bands, available at https://booksaboutbands.buzzsprout.com/ as well as all the usual places. Cheers.
