You're listening to an Airwave Media Podcast.

Hi, fellow signophiles.

Though you week in and week out, hear the ads at the beginning and end of our episodes,

the fact of the matter is, I wish they weren't there as much as

you do. They're intrusive. They take up valuable time. And as a podcaster, they actually

net very, very limited returns.

It's kind of a lose-lose for everyone.

Fortunately, there is another way.

If you think the history of China is something that you'd like to support, you can support our operation directly.

It used to be that the only option for supporting your favorite shows online was through lump donations.

But now the Patreon service allows you to control exactly how much you give per episode.

Do you think this show is worth 50 cents or even a dollar per episode?

If so, please go to

www.

Patreon.com slash the history of China.

That's spelled P-A-T-R-E-O-N and consider becoming a recurring

patron of this podcast for a dollar an episode or about one grand day latte per month, you can

keep the history of China's lights on and content flowing. Of course, our podcast will remain free, and this is entirely voluntary.

But if you've made it this far and are still interested in what lies beyond, I hope you'll

consider becoming our patron here at the History of China.

Again, our Patreon address is

W-W-W-P-A-T-R-E-O-N
