Taipei Times “Taiwan in Time”– Han Cheung, the man behind the awesome weekly history newspaper column - A FORMOSA FILES INTERVIEW

You've read his work (or you should); this awesome guy has been pumping out informative weekly history columns (and now YouTube videos ) for close to a decade. His name is Han Cheung (learn how to pronounce that by listening to this interview), and he went from being one of the only Asian-Americans in a small town in Wyoming - where he wrote for a local newspaper about the history of that state's Wild West era - to returning to his parents' adopted home of Taiwan to write "Taiwan in Time." It's been quite a journey for Han, and in this interview, we talk about everything from history to "slow death metal" with half-Cantonese lyrics. Enjoy
