I’m really enjoying Chinese Characters (1.45pm Mon-Fri Radio 4) although it has made no mention of taiji or any other martial art so far (Episode 4/20). It is a series of essays exploring Chinese history through the life stories of key personalities.
Even most of us sinophiles can find getting to grips with Chinese history overwhelming but these bite sized stories give a real feeling for the culture, its length and scope.
There are 20 episodes, so a month of lunchtime radio to look forward to or you can download the podcast :-
