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.   Jason sits down with 3 Body Problem’s award-winning showrunners Alexander Woo (True Blood), David Benioff, and D.B. Weiss (Game of Thrones) to talk about what it was like to adapt the wonderfully complex, hard-sci book “The Three-Body Problem” by Cixin Liu, and what we can expect from the series.   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.   SPOILER ALERT: We will be covering the first 2 episodes of 3 Body Problem, so if you haven’t watched that far yet, be sure to catch up on Netflix now.   The 3 Body Podcast is produced by Netflix and Sony Music Entertainment.
