Behind The Scenes

Episode 1 - Entering the 3 Body Problem world & China’s Cultural Revolution Hosts Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock and Jason Concepcion dive headfirst into Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, as they share their reactions to the opening episodes and welcome their first guests.

Also in this episode, Maggie and Jason are joined by best-selling author and historian, Jung Chang CBE (Wild Swans, Mao: The Unknown Story), as she offers first-hand insights into life during China’s Cultural Revolution, and explains just how close to reality the opening scenes are.
