  • Spirited reading of an epic story

    Like so many others, I grew up with the Japanese-made ‘Monkey’ TV series. But the crew never made it to India!

    That’s where this series comes in. Lovingly translated from the original Chinese, it’s a spirited, expressive reading by Lin.

    Looking forward to the next episode, and I hope we all make it Gandhara 🙏🪷🕉☸️
