I'm still traveling (6 countries in 6 days), so today's show is a mashup of two shorter bonus episodes I recorded exactly one year ago.

The first discusses John G. Paton on his birthday (May 24, 1824), as well as a little bit about his contemporary Hudson Taylor.

In the second, I spill the beans about the day I was deported from NW China in 2018. 

Note, these have been lightly edited from the old originals, but some 2024 or otherwise time-bound references are sure to remain. My apologies in advance.
