Masterful narration of culturally significant work

This podcast - the collection of the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and his future podcasts - is nothing short of fantastic. John is a captivating narrator, clear, funny, and easy to listen to. His interpretation, based on a personal connection to these stories, makes them more meaningful and impactful. I am very grateful that he is making these rich, exciting, hilarious, and often ridiculous stories accessible for all the world to hear.
