This is the Whistling Podcast. It's not about sports, nor about reporting corruption and vice. It's not about trying to pick up chicks nor an obsession with tea kettles. It's not about trainspotting nor fireworks. At least not yet. It is about musical whistling, the kind you do with your mouth while passing a graveyard.

Episode 31: Tian Wen (天问）："Heavenly Questions" by Qu Yuan

We're almost at the end of the series on whistling in China. Just one more and then we'll discuss Transcendental whistling. This is a poem by Qu Yuan, c. 300 B.C. He asks a lot of good questions. This is a good preamble to the next podcast on the history of China.
