    Announcement: 2 Podcast Interviews

    I recently did two interviews on other podcasts. The first is the Mandarin Slang Guide podcast, where we talked about some common Chinese expressions that had their roots in the characters and stories of the Three Kingdoms era. The second one is Journey to the West: The Podcast, where we had a long chat about classic Chinese novels and their cultural significance, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and of course, Journey to the West. Have a listen, and also check out the other episodes on those podcasts, too. If you like what I'm doing, you might be interested in those shows as well.

Oh Jean ,

Good idea

I was reading the book and found it dry and difficult to follow the interesting narratives. Here, the narrator, tells the story and highlight the important things. I read that there is over a thousand characters and about hundred of some value, but in this podcast the really important characters are given more attention. Can really recommend!
