This is a nice introduction to the history of China, and of course it's not trying to be in-depth. There are lots of useful details that leave the reader/listener feeling curious enough to want to explore more. My main criticism would be the glaring errors with some of the pronunciation of key names in particular. I would have thought the narrator would have been given proper guidance, but for some names the pronunciation baffled me, as it wasn't the accepted way in Chinese, or American or British English. It was irritating but I still found the recording useful.

Good overview, some pronunciation errors
