  • Insightful

    Easy to listen to and flows smoothly while also points out biases (of the resources and his own). Note for headphone users, randomly you can hear coughing, shuffling, and what sounds like someone emptying the dishwasher

  • Pretty good

    This podcast is more like a survey of East Asian history and geopolitics. Host does a good job of summarizing major events and players in China, Japan, and Korea. Only gripe is his atrocious pronunciation of names.😂

  • Great podcast

    Love the podcast. I’m still only in the early episodes but I can’t help but leave a little critique a lot of Chinese and some Korean pronunciation of names, peoples, and places are cringeworthy, no offense. Overall I’ve enjoyed so far, listening to someone well versed in the history of Japan is great. great work

  • Man I am trying but go back and listen

    You can’t just read, I want to learn about Japan. First ones were okay, but you got to talk and discuss not read sun tzu and Daoism, I am going to listen more but skip this one
