Ah you’ve got my directionality confused, the bias preventing me from judging History of China podcast dispassionately is in his inability to pronounce Chinese fluently. I’m in the weird position of being fluent enough in Chinese to be a little intolerant of English speakers with bad Chinese pronunciation but not fluent enough to understand the Chinese-language content. I will say though that China History Podcast seems a little better on this very particular axis and I think it would be unreasonable to expect much better. They definitely seem to have a lot of content, and much of it relevant to the modern era!
Okay, this guy sold me as soon as I saw he had an episode on Doc Ing Hay’s general store in rural Oregon. I stumbled upon this place once just passing through, at a convenient time to get a guided tour of the little museum they’d made out of it. There’s not even a Wikipedia article on it yet; which gives me the impression that this podcaster is committed to both a broad and deep history of the chinese experience
