This was originally over there, but since it was very clearly about “Taiwanese”, we moved it here. That was before it became clear that it was about Mandarin “with a Taiwanese accent”. Good grief is right. ---

I’m not sure, I’ve heard it might be available through Maryknoll (I think they have a church or something in Taichung). That being said, if you know POJ reasonably well, you can get a lot out of the text without audio. Sorry, maybe someone else has a better answer!
