The Round Table podcast episode features Niu Honglin, Steve, and Fei Fei discussing the revival of Yimakan, an oral heritage of the Hezhen people in China, and its move to UNESCO's representative list. They explore how technology and cultural policies aid in preserving intangible cultural heritage, touching on examples like the Li ethnic group's embroidery techniques.
