Length of Series
Hey Peter! I just wanted to ask if you know how many more episodes you have in this series? After all, the third leg of the African series has gone on as long as the entire Indian series! Of course, there’s lots to cover, but I’m wondering when the Chinese Philosophy episodes will begin?

I'm also looking forward to China.. I guess approximately 10-12 episodes of africana "philosophy" is left, which makes 5-6 months..
