The Context

A wonderful podcast for discovering the lesser-known stories behind Chinese history. This episode about animal remains from Yinxu offers a fascinating glimpse into the Shang Dynasty, while the whole series does a great job connecting archaeology, culture, and human stories. A thoughtful and engaging listen.

I’ve been following The Context for a while, and it has become one of my favorite podcasts about China. I really enjoy how each episode brings attention to overlooked figures, forgotten moments, and the fascinating stories behind history. It’s always interesting, and I usually come away with a new perspective.

She was an Incredible lady. I’ve learned enough about the China’s first female general. This is the only episode that made my mind to listen to more than three times. Undoubtedly Listen-friendly content!
