Inbetween Radio is a YouTube channel and podcast that brings media theory, cultural analysis, and communication studies out of the academy and into open conversation. Through programs like 之间拆解 (Inbetween Breakdown) and the upcoming 之间说书 (Inbetween Book Talk), the channel explores how meaning, knowledge, and power are produced in contemporary society—not as abstract concepts confined to seminar rooms, but as living forces that shape the way we experience media, culture, and each other. Created with the Chinese diaspora in mind, it's a space for anyone who wants more than surface-level takes on the world around them, offering frameworks that speak to experiences of being between cultures, languages, and ways of knowing.
​
The work addresses a quiet but pervasive problem: theoretical frameworks that could help us think more critically about media, creativity, and social life remain locked behind institutional walls, written in jargon, and reserved for those with the right credentials. Inbetween Radio dismantles that barrier, offering tools for deeper thinking to anyone curious enough to ask better questions. It's for those who sense that something more is going on beneath the churn of content and culture, and who want the language to articulate it—without needing a PhD to get there.
