There’s a new edition of the very cool Sinica Podcast all about Manchus. You’ll just have to picture the look of pain on Kaiser’s face as I burst into song discussing the dilemma of Wu Sangui.
By the way, if you’re one of the three or four people who haven’t yet heard last week’s episode of This American Life hosted by Evan Osnos and featuring Kaiser and his gang of merry Sinicates, then do so now. Part II is excellent as well with author Michael Meyer (The Last Days of Old Beijing) reading an excerpt from his new book, In Manchuria, all about life in a village in Northeast China.
