    Who we are, and what we do

    Welcome to our first episode! Alright, so basically, we are two students in Taiwan that want to tell you guys the famous, and some quite strange, stories in Chinese history. We recorded this introduction way back in the summertime, so we might have been a little too serious. But trust me, things will be fun! It is really just a story, and a little culture, sharing-podcast, nothing more. So, enojy! (And also we have Twitter now!)
