For anyone interested in the Romance of the 3 Kingoms, I **highly** recommend the Romance of the 3 Kingdoms podcast. The guy who did it noticed that the english translations of the romance were pretty dry and long winding so he decided to tell the story himself. He adds tons of infos that aren't in the book (historical context, supplemental episodes on famous characters and lifestyles, etc) and he's really entertaining.     He also looks at the story through a historic lense and most of the time comments  on the more fantastical parts of the book.
