On this inaugural episode of 《The Overshare 飞天胡说》, Arthur and Paul start with a discussion of Singer 2024, a singing competition that caused controversy online when foreigners took first and second place. Paul is confused by the premise of artistic competition and argues against bizarre claims made in this Global Times article about the competition.  

This week’s questions touch on early childhood education, pesky neighbors, difficult conversations with older folks about illness, attachment theory in romantic relationships, and living far from home.
