Announcement: Wrap-Up Q&A

Announcement: Wrap-Up Q&A

Posted on by John Zhu

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.

I recently did two interviews on other podcasts. The first is the Mandarin Slang Guide podcast, where we talked about some common Chinese expressions that had their roots in the characters and stories of the Three Kingdoms era. The second one is Journey to the West: The Podcast, where we had a long chat about classic Chinese novels and their cultural significance, including the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Water Margin, and of course, Journey to the West. Have a listen, and also check out the other episodes on those podcasts, too. If you like what I’m doing, you might be interested in those shows as well.
