As an old china hand, listening to the Drum Tower team’s journalism is a much needed light, shining on a culture that could so easily remain unseen and misunderstood. Drum Tower should be mandatory listening for everyone. Everyone.

Truly one of the most interesting and informative podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Thanks for producing fascinating content week in, week out!
Apple Podcasts5PK432111United States3 months ago - Fascinating!
This podcast is extremely informative. I prompted me to learn more about modern Chinese history, including reading Spence’s Search for Modern China. I also made myself learn more about the geography of China’s cities and provinces beyond those that are constantly in the news. I am a little nervous about paying full-freight for the subscription next month, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it.
