The late-night talk radio show has been a feature of the Chinese urban radio soundscape for more than three decades. Although such shows have declined in popularity since the late 2000s, in recent years they have been revived in digital format. Audio programs under the tag of “night listening” have blossomed in the Chinese digital space. Late-night talk radio shows are easily accessible on audio platforms. An analysis of the evolution of late-night radio talk shows in China can help in understanding the economic and social transformations that have reoriented Chinese individuals to seek intimacy and emotional liberty. This chapter explores the role of late-night talk radio shows in the negotiation and formation of a new emotional regime in post-Mao China. It also discusses the continuities and changes in the production of Chinese radio shows and their impact on audiences from the telecommunication age to the digital age.
