In 2004, RTI host Andrew Ryan began recording the sounds of Taiwan and creating &quot;sound postcards&quot; which he sent to listeners around the world via the air waves.

Now, the sounds of Taiwan take center stage in a new series of 5-minute programs that dig deeper into the stories and people of this island. Join Andrew on this audio journey into the heart of Taiwan and its people.
