I plan and produce bilingual English–Mandarin podcasts for sports and cultural organizations in Taiwan. From the first idea to the published episode, all you need to do is tell your story.
為在台灣的運動與文化組織，規劃、製作中英雙語 podcast。

Not sure about a whole season? Get one finished episode, from interview questions, recording and editing to bilingual subtitles and publishing. If you go on to a full season, the pilot fee is fully credited.
After a season, your team can continue with training and take the show over. Prices are starting prices in New Taiwan dollars, before tax; the final quote depends on the number of episodes, format and travel. I can also quote in US dollars.

I'm Alexander Hung, a self-employed sports-culture practitioner based in Taiwan and the host of Diverax, a cross-cultural sports show. I talk with guests from Latin America about their stadiums, fans and cities, using sport to understand a place.
I started doing sports interviews in university. Today I interview in English, Mandarin and Spanish, and handle everything myself, from planning and booking guests to recording, subtitles and publishing.
I also teach podcast marketing at a community college in Hsinchu, turning what I've learned into methods other people can follow.
My approach is simple: first understand a place, then tell its story to more people. Making a podcast for your organization works the same way.
Get the free Podcast Planning Checklist for Organizations. It covers what to think through before you add a podcast to your plans:
Every plan shows a starting price: podcast planning from NT$12,000, a full season (6 episodes) from NT$60,000, and team training from NT$15,000 for a half day. The final price depends on the number of episodes, the format, on-site recording and travel. You'll get a formal quote after the free podcast check.
Yes. A pilot episode costs NT$12,000 and includes interview questions, recording, editing, bilingual subtitles and publishing. If you continue with a full season, the pilot fee is fully credited.
You approve the interview questions before we record, and each episode includes 2 rounds of revisions. Payment is split in two: 50% when we sign and 50% on delivery. We sign a contract in English that sets out the deliverables, timeline and revisions.
A 6-episode season released every two weeks takes about 15 weeks from the first call to the final report. Your team names one point of contact, invites guests, shares background material and reviews each episode once, about an hour. I handle the rest.
Quotes are in New Taiwan dollars, or in US dollars on request. You can pay by bank transfer or PayPal. I currently work as an individual and provide a signed receipt. If your finance team needs a specific document, tell me during the free podcast check and we'll sort it out before the quote.
Yes. I interview them in Mandarin and deliver the episode with English subtitles, so your international audience can follow. Episodes that mix English and Mandarin work too.
I take on no more than 2 production projects at a time, so each one gets the time it needs. During production you get a progress update every week. I record on two devices at once and keep every file backed up in two cloud locations. The contract sets a delivery date for each episode, at least one week ahead of your event or reporting deadline.
I provide a guest consent form template in English and Chinese, which guests sign before recording. Raw recordings are kept for 12 months after the project ends and are available to you on request; after that they are deleted. If your organization has its own policy, we follow it.
Your organization owns the finished episodes. I keep the right to show them in my portfolio. Anything else can be agreed separately.
No. We can record online, and I bring the equipment for on-site recording.
Yes. A full season can be combined with team training so your team can run the show afterwards.
The free 20-minute podcast check is for organizations thinking about a podcast with me: we talk about your goals, audience and resources, and I follow up with a proposal and quote. The 1:1 podcast review is a paid session for hosts who have already launched: I listen to your show first and send written recommendations afterwards.
Let's start with 20 minutes on your goals. It's free, and you don't need to prepare anything. For talks, workshops or a 1:1 review, get in touch the same way. I reply within 3 working days.
