The History of China

Well-researched, well-written, well-performed, and witty. A podcast to cherish, although I am sad (but understanding!) about the probable end of the storyline.

I’ve been listening nonstop, and I can’t overemphasize how great of an educational resource this is! Considering the content being what this is, the episodes are actually very digestible. However, given the beast Chinese history is, this isn’t a podcast you can absently or passively listen to… especially if you’ve no prior experience with the topic. I encourage listeners to engage actively, because the content is worth your attention. After the first half dozen episodes—and I implore you to stick around at least that long—I highly recommend using the supplementary materials on the website for each episode.

I really enjoy this podcast. Eric is knowledgeable and able to convey complex issues to a non-specialist audience; his voice is pleasant. I also like that he brings insights from other disciplines and other geographical areas.

I am an ELA/History middle school teacher, and I have really enjoyed listening to your well-researched stories about China! Keep up the great work!
