Hey everyone. We are rapidly approaching the end of the Water Margin Podcast, with just 7 episodes to go. It’s been an incredible journey and I am grateful for all your support along the way. Once we finish the narrative, I plan to do one last episode to wrap up the podcast, talk about future plans, and answer any questions you may have about the Water Margin. So if you have questions, go ahead and start sending them to me at john@chineselore.com. If you want to wait until the narrative is over and you know how it all turns out before sending in questions, that’s ok, too, as I will probably wait 2-3 weeks after the end of the narrative before posting the wrap-up episode. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks as always for all your support.
