  • Discussion keeps the world turning.

  • This is Roundtable.

  • You're listening to Roundtable with myself, Heung.

  • I'm joined by Steve Hatherley and Yooshun in the studio.

  • Coming up, a broken heart won't kill you, but mending it requires delicate stitch work.

  • A pint of ice cream, a rom com and a credit card may work for some, but now more of the heartbroken are throwing traditional breakup cures out of the window.

  • For more nuanced, therapeutic, and, may I say, expensive approaches, we discuss the business of heartbreak and small joys.

  • Big smiles.

  • Tune in to Roundtable's happy place, where happiness is always on air.

  • Our podcast listeners can find us at Roundtable China on your favorite podcast platform.

  • Have a question worth exploring.

  • We are game.

  • Send it to roundtablepodcastq.com Emails are fine, but bonus points for voice memos because they're a listener's favorite.

  • And also, we're a radio podcast show, after all.

  • And now on Roundtable.

  • Ah, the age old tale.

  • We heal our broken hearts in private.

  • Maybe.

  • We spend days swimming in our tears, eating, eating a pint of ice cream, blasting those breakup songs and nursing our wounds, all in preparation for the day we're ready to face the world again.

  • It's a delicate dance, isn't it?
