Show overview
Beyond Huaxia: A College History of China and Japan has been publishing since 2018, and across the 2 years since has built a catalogue of 61 episodes. That works out to roughly 70 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence.
Episodes typically run an hour to ninety minutes — most land between 56 min and 1h 18m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Education show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 6.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Justin Jacobs.
