  • Brilliant Podcast

    This is a fantastically interesting and absorbing podcast, hosted by a knowledgeable and charming host (Edi). It is a brilliant place to start for those just beginning to study Chinese history, politics and culture (like me) but it would also have much to offer for those far more experienced in Chinese matters. Highly recommended, and includes plenty of back-up material as well.
