From Taipei’s history and local culture to Hakka education and legal literacy, Mayor Chiang expressed appreciation for the station’s ability to deliver programs that are both rich in depth and warmly relatable. He added that he hopes every listener can feel Taipei’s warmth and emotional connection during their time on air.
