Hi, I just started listening to the podcast and am currently on episode 9. My wife and I play Dynasty Warriors on PS3 and have gotten interested in the characters and story. Not knowing much about Chinese history I looked around for more information and found your podcast. I really like it so far. I hope you achieve your goal and complete the entire story – I know how time consuming a historical podcast like this can be. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Chad! Glad you like the podcast!
