April 9, 2024 — Airwave podcast network is proud to announce FACE-OFF: THE U.S. VS. CHINA, an eight-episode podcast hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times journalist Jane Perlez and renowned China historian Rana Mitter. FACE-OFF launches with two new episodes on April 9, 2024.
FACE-OFF is a podcast about China and the United States that shows how the two most powerful countries once talked with each other and how relations have fallen apart. At a time when the United States government and much of the American public consider China to be the greatest threat to the United States, the podcast will appeal to a broad audience in the United States and around the world. It will appeal to those who seek to understand why current dangers are so high, and why relations went awry. It will appeal to a people attuned to international relations and culture, business and finance, and political history. Diplomats, spies, cultural stars and tech and military experts will feature in each episode and tell their stories.
FACE-OFF is hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former New York Times Beijing bureau chief Jane Perlez. Her co-host is Professor Rana Mitter, renowned China historian at the Harvard Kennedy School. FACE-OFF is executive produced by Mia Label and fully funded by an endowment by the Carnegie Corporation.
Listen and subscribe to FACE-OFF: THE U.S. VS. CHINA on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and all major podcast listening platforms.
