Drama series! (mysteries; adventures)

Suggested Difficulty (Elementary etc): ____ Intermediate and Upper Intermediate

Lesson Idea: Hi @Constance_Fang and Team,

The original CPod team in Shanghai did several dramatic miniseries. One was about a young man who went into the desert in search of his missing adventurer father (turned into a magical fantasy). Another was a series of Sherlock Holmes type mysteries, that listeners joined in in solving. (I think you had done a 穿越 series, if I remember correctly.) I really loved these lessons. It was a great way to sustain interest (and consolidate vocab) over several lessons. Each lesson ended at a cliffhanger to keep you salivating for the next episode! I’d love to see more of these produced.

I fully support si1teng2’s request for mini-series. They allow you to get involved in the story and to look forward to each new episode. They are very good for vocabulary consolidation.

The series are absolutely the best thing on ChinesePod. Nothing else out there comes close. Hopefully as ChinesePod works at re-creating itself over the next few months, we’ll start seeing them again.
