Hey everyone, Laslam Montgomery here.

Nothing new for you, just a quick announcement, a quick proof of life.

Some of you have been so concerned about your humble narrator as to inquire into my well-being

because 2026 is almost half over and all the CHPS to show for itself is one single episode that came out way,

way back in late January, the good old days. And that's it.

I also interviewed Jesse and talked with him about his blockbuster best-selling memoir.

This was funnier in China.

If you miss that, go check out the latest Barbarians at the gate.

The beloved and greatly admired David Moser interviewed Jesse.

A heck of a lot better than I ever could have done.

So here's what's going on.

I know this CHB feed has been lacking in new content,

and I do apologize for that. The truth is,

although you haven't heard from me in a long time, I've never been busier. So far, I've produced

almost 30 hours of new stuff that was planned in vain as it happened for February, March

release. I'm going to be carrying out a total makeover of the CHP, and I decided no matter whether

it's ready or not, I'm going to start releasing these new episodes, either by Paul's

birthday on June 18th or latest Ringo's birthday on July 7th.

I'm peddling as fast as I can, but it's taking longer than expected.

You know how Chinese history is, 5,000 years and all? I've been releasing all the new stuff on

Patreon and CHP Premium and giving all my subscribers a preview. And after getting all their

feedback and tweaking the recordings, incorporating their comments into the episodes, it's almost ready.
