Daunted by the size, sweep and reputation of RotTK, I have wondered what it was all about. Watched a few Chinese action movies like Red Cliffs to dip a toe in but never cracked the book.

I've been a fan of RoTK since I was a child, watched the shows and read the book in English and Chinese. This podcast has exceeded all of my expectations, it is truly a labor of love and masterfully produced. I'm a big fan of the maps and network graphs. Keep up the good work!Read full review »
