Felicia Lin is a Taiwanese American writer, the producer and host of the Talking Taiwan podcast, and Su Beng’s (史明) biographer. She’s been recognized as a leading social media influencer, and quoted alongside Jeff Bezos, Sir Richard Branson, Neil Patel, Gary Vaynerchuck, Kim Garst, and Matt Cutts in 43 of the Best Social Media Marketing Quotes.
She was born in Fairbanks, Alaska and raised in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The diaspora of her parents' generation has fueled her lifelong curiosity and interest in Taiwan. In 2001, she decided to leave New York City to live in Taiwan, where she got on the path to fulfilling her dream of becoming a writer.
There she "discovered" Su Beng in 2003, after reading an article written by him that had been translated and published in the Taipei Times newspaper. She was so intrigued by his personal story- having spent seven years in China working with the Chinese Communists, plotting to assassinate Chiang Kai-shek (蔣中正), and escaping to Japan where he wrote TAIWAN’S 400 YEAR HISTORY- that she knew that she wanted to meet this "living legend." The two met in 2004 and since then Felicia has been documenting the life of Su Beng through interviews, video and audio recordings. A biography and documentary about Su Beng are currently in the works. To learn more about Felicia's project to document the life of Su Beng visit: www.aboutsubeng.com.

Talking Taiwan has been shortlisted in the 2024 International Women’s Podcast Awards “Moment of Visionary Leadership” category, and nominated in the Best Ensemble Cast category by the T.O. Webfest in 2025.
Since 2013, Talking Taiwan has presented highly valuable, alternative sources of information to listeners through a wide variety of in-depth personal interviews with compelling guests related to Taiwan and Taiwan’s diaspora.

Felicia is also co-author of METROPOLICKS, a romantic comedy novel, which was published in November 2014. METROPOLICKS was inspired by people’s true dating experiences in New York. The novel centers around a multi-ethnic cast of five main characters. Each character has his or her own storyline. The result is a plot that consists of five intertwining subplots. The male and female characters take turns telling their stories of comedic situations, romantic mishaps, and risqué situations encountered. Throughout the book, the narration switches from a female character’s perspective to a male character’s. To learn more about METROPOLICKS visit: www.metropolicks.com.
