episode 4: Interview: Baptiste Pinson Wu and Yellow Sky Revolt
With his second book three kingdoms Heroes of Chaos book launched this week, Steve and Jude interview Baptiste Pinson Wu (at the time, was not our editor) about his first book Yellow Sky Revolt, the main character Liao Hua, the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao and the three kingdoms generally. A friendly chat, we decided to let this run the full length. This interview is going to relax our no spoiler about the era rule so avoid if you wish to avoid hearing about what happens beyond the Yellow Turbans.
Baptiste Pinson Wu various media can be found here including his website, his youtube channel Back in Fiction and twitter while his books can be found on likes of Amazon and Good Reads.
Steve on Tumblr and Jude on tumblr have both reviewed the first book. If looking for non-spoilery reviews, we suggest looking at ToriTalks: she is someone who's coming to Yellow Sky Revolt unfamiliar with the era, that will give you a good idea how accessible it is for you
This is the end of our first season, The Rise of the Yellow Sky, with season 2 going to be following on the chaos at the Han court, chapters 3 and 4 of the novel and another deep dive, a season with both new and existing guests. Will be a delay till season two but we hope to see you again soon.
