S3-E22 - Barbie: Made in Taiwan

Seen the Barbie movie? No worries... Eryk saw it for you, and he
noticed one thing they didn't mention in the film: from
1967-1987, most of the world's Barbie dolls were made in Taiwan.
Factories in the tiny town of Taishan 泰山 (now a district of New
Taipei City) churned out millions of these well-made toys
before Mattel moved operations to cheaper manufacturing
locations. Plus, we've got info on traditional Taiwanese toys and
John ends this week's episode with a strange tale of "possessed"
paper dolls.
