Reviews
- Brilliant
Really insightful and interesting - I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone reading or re-reading the stone.
I love how the hosts explain things like jokes/wordplay, cultural references and poetry that the English translation can’t fully capture.

I've been looking for a detailed summary + discussion of Hong lou meng for a while. I'm happy to find this high quality production. Love the character analysis and cultural background explanation.
Apple Podcasts5VincentK1991United States3 years ago - Huge surprise
Never thought I would listen to native English speakers talking about this novel! This is makes me feel the famous quotation from novel: Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true, real becomes not-real where the unreal's real. I’m I in a dream now?
Really appreciated!
加油 Wilson and William。
