About China Chronicles

China Chronicles is an independent podcast that uses dramatic, deeply researched storytelling and immersive audio to tell little-known stories from China’s past and present – both from within the Mainland and from the Chinese diaspora. From suppressed disasters and dark tragedies to moments of brilliance, resilience and achievement, each episode unpacks a chapter in the complicated China story that still reverberates today, and does so in a way that’s objective, informative and entertaining.

The ‘Iron Dam’ that became China’s deadliest secret

Fifty years ago, the Banqiao Dam in Henan collapsed, taking as many as 230,000 lives with it. This testament to Mao-era engineering hubris and political fanaticism was the worst structural failure and deadliest industrial disaster in human history, yet to this day, few inside or outside of China know anything about it. For show notes, transcript and photos of the Banqiao disaster, go to www.chinachronicles.org

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
