Ah, Yes, Thanks, sorry

Hey Peter,
Just a quick note to mention that there’s been some nice correspondences between The History of Chinese Philosophy podcast and Justin Tiwald and Richard Kim’s podcast, This is the Way (which Karen has been a guest on). The latest is that they did an introduction to Mozi this week, so between the four of you, I may even be able to retain some of the major themes of Mohism for more than a day or two !

Yes I know, I have listened to every episode of their podcast and really love it! It complements what Karyn and I are doing very nicely since they have long, detailed discussions (an hour plus) of fairly specific topics, often a single passage, whereas we adopt the more concise overview approach. I was also struck by the coincidence that they discussed Mohism for the first time just when we got to it; there was a similar coincidence with the episode on women in Confucianism.
