Great except one thing…
I love this podcast. The stories are well curated and provided a good slice of Chinese life, culture, and history. All of the readers are terrific…except Cliff Larsen. I’ve come to cringe every time he’s reading. It’s not his over annunciation that prompted me to write the review (irksome though it is) but it’s the voices he attempts to do when quoting someone in the article. They are so forced and irritating. His trying to emulate Nixon’s voice in a story a few months back was embarrassing. His attempt at a Norwegian accent in the recent article on over packaging was borderline offensive. And he even mispronounced Santorini in that article. I’ll continue listening to this podcast but please, less Cliff Larsen

More reviews of China Stories
Echoing other comments here. Please please stop with the accents. They are all so terrible, from several readers. It's so distracting. And I imagine offensive to the individuals. Just read the article, this is not Broadway.Read full review »

Loved the first few episodes. Interesting stories and a lot of stuff that’s hard to access without subscribing to the sites in question. Nice one!
