Hello and welcome to When Diplomacy Fails podcast. Thanks for listening to the latest installment of the 1916 Rising Centenary miniseries special. I hope you've been enjoying it so far and remember to send me your feedback and let me know what you're thinking of it. A small reminder, guys, When Diplomacy Fails is a member of the Agora podcast network, and the

Agora podcast network is full of wonderful shows just like when diplomacy fails that will delight

your earbuds and delight your ears and delight your brain and fill you with information and

knowledge that you had not had before. So I'd recommend searching for Agora in iTunes, Google, or anywhere else that you get your podcasts,

and following on from there, you'll be able to find the actual feed for Agora itself,

and also all the contingent parts and the different podcasters that make up Agora in general.

In line with this, the month of June, because it's summer now, thankfully,

2016 is dedicated to the promotion of Chris Stewart and the History of China podcast. So, if you're

in any way knowledgeable about China, you feel like you'd like to know some more about it,

or you have no knowledge whatsoever on China, kind of like me.

And you can't even pronounce the names, you don't know what dynasty is which,

you don't know which empire was which, you don't know when the Mongols invaded,

what that darn wall was even for, and whether it can be seen from space, it can't, that's a myth.

You should definitely check out the History of China podcast. And check out Chris Stewart as well.

Search them in Google, iTunes, you know the usual. And enjoy.

Okay, so with that out of the way, it's time to get started.

So we're into episode 13 now, guys. I hope you enjoy it.

Let's not waste any more time. Thanks for listening.
