Great
I stumbled upon CHP, no particular interest in China until I started listening. I’ve listened to dozens of episodes now. I find them entertaining and informative and filling a big hole I didn’t even know I had. Thanks Laszlow!
Nauseating sinophobic propaganda.
Laszlo brings an engaging narrative that has launched my understanding of the sterile-bastardized western textbook understanding of Chinese history to a level that has interjected a joy for poetry, philosophy and history into my 9th grade class. Thank you!!!
Probably one of the best podcasts on Chinese history to date. Very knowledgeable, in-depth, and Lazlo has a knack to deliver the content in a lighthearted way. Also love the coverage of specialized topics like Taiwan, tea, entertainment business, etc. Been a listener for years, exhausted all backlog episodes, and unfortunately no longer have the capacity to keep listening, but definitely recommended if you have any interest in the subject.
