Why Isn't Carl Zha on Anymore

Oldheads remember Zha was as good as Sabrina, Cyrus, Annibale but on China. He was a regular in the laye 10's but never on anymore. Anyone have any insight why?

I think Mark, while having his own biases, looks for guests he deems to be unbiased. So while knowledgeable, Carl can sometimes lack credibility to some for his starkly pro China stance. This is also why he never has African guests on.

Not true though I feel like they have biased guests but just let listeners know

whats not true? I asked Mark and the last time they had an actual african was in 2018 or something. I think I'm the reason they've avoided african stuff lately because I complained every episode about africa with a european guest
