Cool. I’d like to have something I can point people toward. :)
Your wish, several days later, is my command. I am not a quick genie

The host is up with various places to listen to (we hope to add google but apple won't be happening)

Also via Tunein and if you have samsung, you should be able to find it there as well.

We have youtube, twitter and tumblr

So the trailer is up, hi this is what we are doing and the sites to listen/follow us on (though hopefully google podcasts will add us in a few days). On Thursday will be a few short clips from the first episode and on Friday, we launch the first chapter episode with Aaron and ourselves.

We could use more people, even if they end up just passing through.
Provided a link in trailer and regular youtube link, probably will do something for the episode we are recording this weekend

Just curious - why no Apple?

Also have you considered Amazon? That’s my go-to app for podcasts these days.

Looking forward to this!

Group working together + Apple demanding bank information to do a podcast=not a great combo

Try here for amazon, not sure why the feed on the website isn't working. Let me know if this works better?

Hope you enjoy

Sweet. Listening now.
[Edit: Listened, lol. Didn't notice immediately it was the trailer!]

There are no fees to feature in Apple's ecosystem, right? You can just publish a free podcast? Is there an issue with entering the credit card to create the account and it simply not being charged? That would probably help a lot with exposure.

Free and it would, is a huge platform.

But if anything happens to someone's card or bank account, "you shared your banking details with others" (since would be a group account using group email) response from banks is a problem.

Can already tell so much work has gone into this, I can really see it being a cornerstone of the 3K community

Interesting. I wonder if you might use a rechargeable credit card to open the account?

A few clips of episode 1 (and Sun Fin's scrooge spirit) are up via youtube (the link) or podcast, to give a taste of the episode is like.

Added google (that took awhile to come through), some site called apple (thanks James and Jia Nanfeng!), deezer and one or two other small platforms.

I think places like this will be more a cornerstone but I hope it will encourage interest. Thank you

I decided to make a separate one person only account to provide us the platform apple brings.

So this is it. The first proper episode has been launched (all available watching options are in the first post), thank you for the support everyone since we announced it here and hope you will enjoy

With Sun Fin as your host, me and Aaron discuss the first chapter of the novel, it's themes and the history. The Han decline and who the novel blames, the Yellow Turban revolt that spread across the land, the introduction of major figures for the future in Liu Bei’s brotherhood, the imagery and the wily Cao Cao. Aaron going deep into the memorable weaponry made for the brotherhood and where the ideas for such weapons came from.

I'm so excited that it's finally been published! We'd love to hear feedback! This is our first podcast so we know its not going to be perfect so we're open to constructive criticism. :D
Have a question about a book or academic article before you buy it? Maybe I have it!
