Water Margin Podcast: Outlaws of the Marsh
About This Podcast
This podcast is an English retelling of the classic Chinese novel Water Margin (水浒传, aka Outlaws of the Marsh). It aims to tell the story in a way that is more accessible to audiences who are not already familiar with the novel or Chinese culture and literature in general. It differs from an audiobook in that I do not just read straight off a translation of the novel. Instead, I tell the story in a conversational style, adding in my own perspective and pausing to provide historical background and other contextual information where needed to help you better understand and appreciate the novel.

This is my second podcast. My first podcast was a similar project on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the most famous and epic of classic Chinese novels. That podcast ran from 2014 to 2018. Check it out at 3kingdomspodcast.com. You can find out more about me and my work at chineselore.com.
