In the run-up to the first China Giant Panda International Culture Week, we’re joined by Chengdu Pambassador Jerome Pouille from France for this week’s episode. An expert in all things panda, Jerome Pouille covers the latest goings-ons on his website https://www.panda.fr/. 

A lot was covered in our conversation - from how the panda got its signature black and white fur, the panda’s journey from an obscure cat found in China to one of the world’s most adorable and beloved creatures, to whether there were once pandas in Europe!
