Reviews
- Wonderfully informative!
This is a well researched podcast on the history of Formosa which is present day Taiwan. Covering over 300 years of the island’s history, it is wide ranging in its scope and for someone who is Taiwan born who is already well versed in Taiwanese/Formosan history I have discovered plenty of new tidbits. Highly recommend listening to this podcast and not just if you’re interested in history, but especially the many episodes that cover the conflict with the mainland.

I had been enjoying the weekly treat to interesting, sometimes delightful stories from Taiwan’s past. If I wanted to listen to American war propaganda, I would have tuned into one of those from US because there are plenty. I hope the Taiwanese people will choose a strong and clear thinking leader come next Jan. I am certain that they want peace and maintain the status quo and abide time…not to be used as a pawn by the war-mongers…2023jun15.

A great source of Taiwan history for English speakers. The hosts have a great rapport and keep the storytelling interesting. Great job with the research and broader historical context , too, that are integral to any history-based podcast.
