S4-E36 - Merry Christmas 2024, and a big thank you to all our People of Quality

This was a breakout year for Formosa Files, for which we
thank our highly intelligent, "people of quality" listeners and
supporters.





John and Eryk wrap up the year with a "bits & pieces/Xmas
hotpot" episode that includes everything from a
non-canonical version of the goddess Mazu's birth to the
fact that early Tintin comics move into the public domain on
1 January 2025.  





Oh, and we've decided on a divine mission: a search for the "Holy
Bamboo" of Pingtung (or any bamboo in Pingtung Eryk can pass off
as being connected to the grove that bloomed in joy when
then-Crown Prince Hirohito visited in 1923.) 





This year also featured the launch of Plum Rain Press and the
release of Dr. Chen Yao-Chang's major historical fiction epic, "A
Tale of Three Tribes in Dutch Formosa." 





MERRY CHRISTMAS (or seasonal greeting of your
choice) and HAPPY NEW YEAR!


See you in 2025!
