It seemed sadly ironic that a German popstar and his international friends sing songs in English to help save Lakota. It’s sort of like raising money to save whales by selling tickets to a whale hunt.

I got very confused listening to this episode because of how 合 was pronounced. It’s a good thing the Chinese characters are posted here, but I think standard Mandarin pronunciation would be preferable for most bilingual listeners (like myself).

My Chinese dictionary give cou4he for 凑合. It’s possible that the pronunciation given is a local variant. I am going to ask some Chinese friends about that, once I can get so I can write it down.
