Kaiser Kuo is host of the Sinica Podcast, a weekly discussion of current affairs in China, and is director of SupChina's Sinica Network, which includes nine China-focused podcasts. Kaiser spent a year in China after graduating from U.C. Berkeley, and during that time co-founded the seminal heavy metal band Tang Dynasty, which went on to become one of China's most successful rock groups. After several years in graduate school in the U.S., Kaiser moved back to China in 1996 and lived in Beijing for 20 years, first rejoining Tang Dynasty then going on to work at the intersection of technology and media, as an editor for an internet startup, as China bureau chief for Silicon Valley tech magazine Red Herring, and later as communications director for Chinese internet companies Youku and Baidu. In 2016, he left Beijing after the Sinica Podcast, which he and Jeremy Goldkorn started in 2010, was acquired by SupChina. He now lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with his wife and two teenage children.
