Hello, are you looking for people in New Zealand to contribute to ChinesePod?
Been a user for 10 years. Didn’t expect the content freeze to last so long and finally had to cancel my subscription. It’s been fun, CPod, hope you get back on your feet at some point.
Maybe Chinesepod could work through all the suggestions that came up during the past few months and condense them into a plan what you are intending to do when re-starting the app and podcasts.
After that, the community of users can give you feedback on your ideas.
That way you can build a perfect product that exactly suits the needs of your customers.

Hi, @darkstar94, We do have an office in New Zealand, as well as in China, USA, Japan and Hong Kong. If you are interested in working with us in some way, feel free to private message me or email HR@chinesepod.com.
I’m sorry that you’re leaving. I hope that you check back with us when we get new videos posted!
So it turns out Fiona and Gwilym have just joined Skritter…

Awesome! We love working with Skritter and encourage all growth in the Chinese language!
I’m not panicking yet. It seems ChinesePod is no stranger to PR troubles. Like when 凯恩 schools folded, and Ken skipped the country. Wow, do I remember that!
Or when the entire old production team seemed to vanish at the end of 2014 with little explanation - just an “oh-by-the-way” goodbye from Jenny and David buried in a Media lesson.
Once I realized Jenny and the talent were gone, I did actually think ChinesePod was probably over. But now that Fiona and Constance are gone, it seems everyone is (again!) thinking ChinesePod is over.
We’ll see what’s next!

Thank you ewilc773 for your positivity. ChinesePod sure has been around a while and this isn’t our first set of changes! We have great shoes to fill and are excited about the future.

Are you guys going to post a general introduction describing who you are? You already have lessons up but I do not know who anyone is. Is that up somewhere? The only thing I have seen is Grace’s general advert for Chinesepod, but who is Grace?
Hello! Yes, I’ve been kind of behind the scenes with ChinesePod but was encouraged to get out in front a little more! What else can I answer for you?
Grace, can we hope that Chinesepod management has plans to hire a deep bench of talent for the future? As we have seen, nothing is more disruptive to a business when you only have a few talented people and then lose them all at once. Hire a nice-size pool of talent, treat them well and pay them well, and you’re on the road to success. And if you lose a few along the way, that’s unfortunate, but at least you’ve got more talent on deck to cover while you’re looking for replacements.

I like where your head is at toolsen!
I used to be able to learn the vocabulary for each lesson using Skritter light. Is this function still available?

Why do my forum posts have to be moderated?
@dorothycowling, we had an unfortunate series of posts which needed to be censored. They were inappropriate for the Forum (totally unrelated topics, mostly sexual in nature, totally embarrassing!) and so we decided to moderate the comments for a bit until we can clear out the “violators.” We expect to open it back up shortly. Thank you for understanding. We try to keep our site free of robots, spammers and hijackers - but as you know…it is practically impossible!
Ok, quite some time ago we were asked for suggestions and now I am finally back. I signed up for one month of basic. So far I am thinking I might go back to my 3 month subscription again as I am fairly happy with the new content.
But frankly, I don’t see much of anything has changed. Pricing/levels/features all the same.
My main points of contention was that the jump from Basic to Premium was extreme and some features in premium should really be in basic.
I was reminded of this today when I installed the app. I really think the app should be available to all and simply limit what you can do depending on your subscription level.
I ‘CAN’ listen on my phone by going to the webpage but it would be slightly nicer to have the app. Are you really providing that much more value (with the app) to justify me going from 14/mo to 29/mo? I am simply not a learner that needs/wants the premium but locking me out of the app, only irritates me.
Thanks for what you done so far–ck

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you are back, and hope you will try Premium. There are a lot of extra features you may enjoy.
Let us know what you think of the new lessons.
