英语开场白文字：

Hey guys. Breadtoast Chinese is back. We’ve jumped from just one dude begging his friends to help himthrow together some random shows, to multiple amazing teams of co-hosts and producers going all in with me, Brad or 张浩哲or面包老师 or whatever you wanna call me, on a bunch of fun new series. Our goal? Produce awesome, thoughtful and entertaining Chinese-language content for learners and native speakers alike and prove that no matter where we’re from or where we are--or where we’re going, for that matter--we can all understand, appreciate and inspire one another.

So, let’s get going with our new 等我音乐 series. That’s the kind of deng, (d-e-n-g third tone) that means level, like: being on an equal level. We could maybe translate the series name into something simple like “My Music Story,” but I feel like we’re missing too much there, or “The Story of my music told in a way that puts us on the same level as each other and also the music”??? Yeah, no thanks. So, we’ll just stick with the Chinese name, 等我音乐. I think you’ll get the idea.

等我音乐，Episode One, features established drummer and up and coming songwriter Morekui (Chinese name: 吴奎WuKui). The 背景音乐you’re hearing right now，or “BGM” as most Chinese speakers call it, is Morekui’s 奥莎儿，我走了。My 等我音乐 co-host, 易开，and I got Morekui to break down the story of this unique and emotion-packed song. We’ll play 奥莎儿，我走了for you again at the end of the podcast. You’ll find some helpful language learning materials and links to today’s song and artist info in the show notes.
