【我們是誰】

美輪美換是一檔深入探討當今美國政治的中文播客。

美輪美換的前身是“選·美 iAmElection”，一檔由游天龍、talich、林垚、莊巧祎等人于2015年創立的中文播客，選·美聚集了一群關心美國政治的學者、律師、媒體人、觀察者和愛好者，在2016年大選前后吸引了大量的聽眾和讀者，成為一檔現象級的播客。2020年大選前，talich等人重新推出了“美輪美換”，更新了16集。2023年，新一輪美國大選即將開始，我們決定將選·美和美輪美換的傳統延續下去，推出新版的“美輪美換”播客。

我們的主播和嘉賓：

• Talich：美國政治/文化歷史愛好者

• 王浩嵐：美國政治愛好者，嵐目公眾號主筆兼消息二道販子

• Lokin：美國法學院學生，即將成為一名紐約訴訟律師。

本期節目由Talich制作，封面設計來自歡祺，本期的音頻編輯是Talich。美輪美換是一檔由百花傳媒出品的播客。

【 What We Talked About】 Yes. 2023 is also an election year. Though Biden is not doing so well in the latest polls, Democrats have exceeded expectations in the past off-year elections. We discuss results of some of the high-profile races. How did abortion rights play into the results? How will the issue affect the general elections next year?

【Who We Are】

The American Roulette is a podcast dedicated to helping the Chinese-speaking community understand fast-changing U.S. politics.

The American Roulette’s predecessor is “iAmElection”, a Chinese-language podcast created by Tianlong You, Talich, Yao Lin, and Qiaoy Zhuangi in 2015. The podcast brought together a group of scholars, lawyers, media veterans, observers and enthusiasts who care about American politics. At the height of its popularity, it was featured in the New York Times, and attracted an estimated 70,000 audience who listened each month. For the 2020 election, Talich and others relaunched the podcast as "美輪美換" with 16 new episodes.

In 2023, as the new round of U.S. presidential election is about to begin, we’re building on the legacy of “iAmElection” and “美輪美換” to launch a new podcast that we hope will become your go-to American Politics podcast. We introduce: “美輪美換 The American Roulette.”

Talich: U.S. politics, history, and culture enthusiast 王浩嵐 (Haolan Wang): American political enthusiast, chief writer at Lán Mù WeChat Official Account, and peddler of information Lokin: U.S. law school student, incoming NY litigation lawyer
