Mostly just dumping a couple more links today. Still not entirely sure how I want the final project to manifest, it seems like building a website would probably be the best idea. I had a thought that it could be interesting to explore how a form of digital media we haven't yet explored (video games) incorporate historical research into simulations, but I think it is a bit ambitious to so drastically change my focus this late in the game.

This one has links to a few Chinese language teaching podcasts. Still looking for Chinese podcasts about various topics instead of ones designed to teach Chinese, but that shouldn't be too hard to find with a more concerted effort.

This website has a few short stories to read once people have enough grammar and vocabulary training to start tackling them.
