Glooorious. <3 As someone with an interest in China, Iām so happy you included this episode in your amazing series. I really, really like the focus you bring to these - zooming in on a single dynasty was a really good move. Loved hearing the poetry in both languages, it was so awesome to hear the stylistic, formal, rhythmic manner in which Classical Chinese poetry poetry is read aloud. The text is so beautiful, human, and surprisingly relatable/accessible - makes me want to learn more about it. Would love an episode on another dynasty one day, maybe Yuan or Ming - thatās just me being selfish though, lol. Either way thanks so much for this!

I listen to so many history podcasts but this is different. It's immersive with authentic music, the poetry, the voice overs, and that beautiful voice guiding you through time. To be honest, I listen to these with my eyes covered so the story plays out like a projector playing in my mind. I've listened to all of them at least twice. This one is especially important because what is old is new. It's not just ancient geopolitical stories. This one should help explain a lot of today's happenings.

I normally don't listen to podcasts but I fell upon this and hadn't noticed it was a podcast and ended up listening and playing solitaire:) So now I have subscribed because you have a great way of telling history and you don't have to sit and watch the same scenes again and again and having things repeated as docs often do. Thank you for all your work!!

Fantastic work. I binged the whole series in the last two days. You deserve a BBC show for this. You have an eloquent style that demonstrates enthusiasm and reverence for the periods covered that rivals popular documentarian/historians like Mary Beard and Bettany Hughes. Well done.
I'd suggest some other civilizations (Assyria, Minoa, American Indians, Great Zimbabwe, Lydia, Celts, Goths, Merv, Etruscans -- just off the top of my head) but you probably already have a backlog of suggestions to sift through.

You are an incredible narrator, thank you for your work. You speak slow and clear enough for me to and process the info. Wish this channel luck as deep as the ocean !!!
