Actually the charm of this podcast is the varying level of Mandarin. In Singapore we have such a wide spectrum of viewers. Some with good Chinese some potatoes so this is a dynamic that works.
Really love the guest this week & it brought back memories of waiting for wahbanana & NOC weekly video updates back in 2013/2014. It was also refreshing to hear Ling Yi & Charlene's challenges as a female boss in SG - feel that we don't get to hear this enough as male bosses in the KZread scene tend to have more exposure in the media interviews imo. Really enjoyed this episode! 😊
Great episode, over time as John speaks more mandarin, his standard will improve. The channel should have a yearly recap of his improving mandarin standard.
Enjoyed this episode a lot! Very insightful and interesting to see the challenges female bosses face in SG.

Her mandarin sounds like a more formal Taiwanese, very nice. Her English sounds 100% local. Envy her mandarin.

Wow !!! Really appreciate this episode! Really amazing! Love the insights and content!!! :) And really funny too! :)
Keep up the good work guys! I enjoyed the video.
this is one of the most enjoyable content :D snice i use to work around wabanana building always saw them in and out . also love thier killer game series :D
Tbh, i am quite enjoying this channel and talks. Keep it up!
Looking at how the KZread scene change over the years, its really heartening to see lao jiao such as Ryan and Ling Yi still around doing KZread. Back when Wah!Banana under Garena, really the OG to start the nonsense "types" video!
Always not easy to run a channel consistently for so many years, thanks for the sharing
Love this episode! Sending love from Malaysia ❤
Great episode, very funny! And really enjoyed it👍🏻 hope wah banana continue another season of killer games 😢i miss it so much i have to rewatch the old episodes.

I don’t even speak mandarin and don’t usually finish these kind of videos but this was highly entertaining! Ling yi is so eloquent!
Great episode ❤! 加油
very good episode, thank u
Great guest and episode :)
Can't believe i never notice this channel before. Good interview and the interviewers have good humor.
Ling yi 真的是大咖!新加坡人的华语不如她,连英文(是母语)也说得不如她。她做事认真,很有想法,有性格,而且对员工很好。noc都没了,wah banana还坚立不倒,真令人佩服。要投ling yi成most influential female of the year hahahhaha

What a great episode! very interesting to see how wah!banana originated from even though I have watched them since around 2014... it was also very insightful to see the concerns that lingyi and charlene face while being female bosses
really love this episode! Too bad Mayidou not around, if not im sure the conversation will be even funnier~
Very good interview and sharing.
加油,你们都是最棒的💪🏻酸民哪都有…无视就好了,把关注放在喜欢你们的观众就好了!
This episode is really funny hahaha laughed quite a few times!
我很喜欢听你们的播音,可是我希望你们能考虑也在 spotify 播出, 一定会更红。Spotify 也能播出视频的格式了。
what a pleasure to listen to lingyi's fluent mandarin! :)
hahahaha they really have great chemistry this group really produces exceptional content
really admire Lingyi, think she's capable
omg i feel so validated. i work in specialized retail job, and everyone will ignore me and my girl colleague and go straight to my male colleagues even though we are better qualified. i tell the male staff about this reality of ours, and they are very dismissive of it and said we "think too much".

'Everyone' is dramatizing things... for me, I always go to female staff because most are more patient at listening for needs before recommending an item.

wa didnt know the boss is a female and she looks great, her language skills also v good. On a side note, I think ryan's pants look more like boxers rather than pants hahahaha.
good job
jiayou all !! You guys are da best :)
Good job to y'all, tho felt a little off without Ma Yi Duo to lead the flow of the conversation but good job to Charlene and Ryan for leading the flow really well without Ma Yi Duo. Shall wait for the next guest y'all bring to the show!
Love her girl boss vibe - reminds me of Sara Jane Ho!
I wonder which video's comment was Ryan talking about ? 👀 Can anyone tell me ?

any form of formal communication or discussion should have been done directly in 1 big group, instead of the bureaucratic way of your employee passing a message/email to your manager, then to client's manager and then to client's employees
I really enjoy Wah bananas videos because they are quite relatable and funny also :) lingyi seems like an empathetic/ reasonable boss who will give her staff time to explain and plough the field with her staff. Woman power, she upholds a lot of what i believe a lady boss should be like
woAH with 3 of the big bosses.. i need them on daily ketchup.
Lingyi fit in so well.
Waiting for killer game and their gaming chair and snacks recommend very nice 😂

I ❤ charming and super talented Lingyi. As for Charlene, I don’t see any flaws in her looks. I love❤watching Charlene too. Each are unique in their own way 😊
Enjoy this episode so much...Btw is 创作不易not不宜🙏
Lingyi's chinese rlly sounds so good. Totally agree on ryan's statement. I am actually shock to know she is from china but she don't rlly have china accent? Will be awaiting for her chinese podcast though. I think my chinese might improve just listening to her. Haaaa 😂 wonder who will be hosting w her or it will be just her as the main host. Hum.. it's interesting to know the story of wabanana! To be honest i found wah banana becuz of the handsome OG guy. I was so happy to see him on youtube. But sadly he had scandal n there is nomore news on him. I guess its a give n take. The channel prob gained popularity w him as well being the handsome face n funny actor. To be paying the price too when he is in trouble. 😅

Why is the volume so erratic. It changes to super loud at some parts
LIng Yi 的中文聽得真的很舒服 主持人相信也有一定功力 聲量可以考慮放小一些 會更好

Agreed and every time he becomes defensive and saying that he can do no right, the fact that this comment is not directed at other hosts but only him says a lot. He inserts himself forcefully and makes it all about him.

hmm I don't think the female thing is true entirely. I think they ignore the wife because they're not familiar with her, and just may feel awkward. as for Ryan's I think its just a boss thing, plus he's so prominent, so clients will give him face and reply immediately. don't think its a female thing because from my experience, females get equal respect too/ clients always look for the female boss when the whole team is male. (for my job at least), you just gotta show your dominance and of course, be smart.
