Why is the BHP banned in China? Also, I love that I am now a member of a banned podcast!
Thank you so much for supporting the show. And as for the banning, I’m not sure, but our podcast feed is locked down by the great firewall (though not our main page) so maybe they aren’t fans of podcast feeds or history podcast feeds? It’s unclear.

Do you have any t-shirts that have the BHP Logo on them?
Not yet, but that might not be a bad idea. I’ll look into it.
