The first installment of our new podcast "Editorial Conversations", where I moderate a discussion with the editorial team on each weeks chapter. 

The show is available on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcTyIkvW0FTLxaWmFCC4jgA?ref=teatechnique.org) and [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/show/0045GU8ZzPjrKa7Yuvw5PK?ref=teatechnique.org). 

### Errata

- 10:15 - Ryan says "creating Chaxi" but intended to say "crafting a great tea experience".
- 13:10 - Patrick says " I've learned to let the tea speak a little bit more and myself and my technique speak a little bit less", but meant to say "…"Myself and my ego speak a little bit less". When referring to application of the phenomenological approach in one's own tea practice.
- 18:34 - Patrick says "this was his 'tiger spring' for the emperor" referring to the "spring of running tigers" in Hangzhou, to which a humorous story about Qianlong is attributed.
