The History of Taiwan - Formosa Files

A Thorough Historical Look INTO Taiwan

I love this podcast! I love Taiwan and I really want to live there but until I can, I really feel like John, Eryk and I are meeting for coffee (well they'd prob have beer!) and are friends of mine who know how fascinated I am with history, in particular Taiwan and Chinese History. The last two podcasts (the one that was a retrospective of John's experience of the earthquake 20 years ago and the one with CNN reporter Mike Chinoy who has the new book "Assignment China" were terrific. The one about the earthquake I actually felt comforted and inspired by since it showed how that 20 year ago earthquake actually helped the construction of new buildings get placed on a little more of an integrity basis.

My other favorite podcast was actually about Evergreen. Since I love flying EVA Airlines I loved getting the background and inside scoop on that. I see the Evergreen shipping containers here in the USA and now, never had an awareness of them before. Super cool!

Plus they keep me laughing with their ribbing each other. Super fun and great education for me. Thank you guys so much!
