I previously posted about the series on Globe Telecom I narrated for the 1 Up Media podcast Empires, and now I’m sharing the next one – this time about Alibaba. It’s a five-part series this time around, with an interview after to bring the count to six.
As usual, I’m very critical of my own work, but I won’t dwell on that here. Let’s just say I started finding my footing sometime during the production of this series. I can still find things to nitpick about (and I don’t think that’ll ever change regardless of what I do), but I can promise you that the writing is superb, and the sound design creates a pretty damn immersive listening experience.
That’s it! Please click through to listen to the series, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

I don’t quite know why it took me this long to actually publish it, but finally, here it is.
