I am a subscriber, but found it more convenient to listen to QingWen as a podcast than to use the ChinesePod app.  But I notice the last few QingWen's have not appeared on the podcsast. Is it App only going forward?

I've been in Shanghai two and half years and a Poddie for all of that, with lessons added about a year and a half ago.  I've been meaning to drop in the whole time and never gotten around to it.  Where is your office?  And who should I call to arrange a visit?

For what's its worth, a number of my friends swear by the Shanghai Call Center.  It's a free translation service.  They call, tell the person what they want, then hand the phone to the taxi driver, shop attendent, etc - or put it on speaker.  I've never used it and have the number down as 962288, and here is the web site:
