CJ from Cool History Bros: A Discussion about Confucianism
In the podcast's second episode with a guest, we sit down with CJ Leung, who hosts the "Cool History Bros" Channel on YouTube. "Cool History Bros" presents deep topics in Chinese and East Asian history and literature in a lighthearted way, and it is a great resource for learning about the region's history. Today on the podcast, CJ talks with us about Confucianism, which is more commonly known as Ruism in Asia. We discuss the philosophy's origins, misconceptions about it that have been transmitted since Jesuit missionaries' encounters with it, and how Ruism was historically applied in China, Korea, and elsewhere.

Thanks also go to my wife Patricia, who helped me plan the podcast's content.
Note: Apologies for some of the technical issues. There were some network timing issues, and my voice is a little slower than usual. We also unfortunately lost a bit of CJ's voice between 47:16-20. However, the recording otherwise went very well, and we had a great time during the interview.
