Laszlo Montgomery is the creator and presenter of the China History Podcast, and other Chinese culture related podcasts. He began his Chinese studies in 1979 at the University of Illinois, and lived in Hong Kong between 1989-1998. He has helped Chinese companies build market share in the US, and in 2010, launched The China History Podcast as a channel to allow a more mass, non-academic audience to enjoy the delights of Chinese history. Originally intended for a US audience, today more than half of the show's listeners are outside the States. Cathay Pacific Airways has carried Laszlo's content on their inflight entertainment system since 2017. Laszlo has spoken frequently at universities and high schools about his love for Chinese history and culture.
