Podcast appearances and mentions of luke hunt

This podcast began as an audio version of my book, Mud Between Your Toes – a memoir about my life – a gay, white boy growing up during the 1970s Rhodesian Bush War. It has now evolved into a series of conversations with characters and personalities with stories to tell – occasionally on an African theme. Season 03 - Episode 12 of MUD BETWEEN YOUR TOES CONVERSATIONS WITH PETE WOOD. Luke Hunt has covered wars, international politics and economics for Agence France-Presse where he served as bureau chief for Afghanistan and then Cambodia. He has written for The Melbourne Age, The New York Times, The Times of London, The Economist and writes a weekly column on Southeast Asia for The Diplomat. Specialising in counter-terrorism, his broadcasts have appeared regularly on ABC in Australia and on Voice of America and he's here today to chat to me about his career and his book, Punji Trap – the spy who didn't love us. Pham Xuan An was a Communist agent whose espionage adventures - under the cover story of a celebrated war correspondent in the Western Media -- were as brilliant for Hanoi as they were shattering for Washington during the tumultuous days of the Vietnam War.  Photo of Luke Hunt (Top Left) by Kim Mordaunt  Listen to Mud Between Your Toes podcasts on iPHONE/Apple Podcasts.https://apple.co/32QTumi Listen to Mud Between Your Toes podcasts on Android/Samsung/Nokia.https://podcasts.google.com?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL211ZGJldHdlZW55b3VydG9lcy9mZWVkLnhtbA%3D%3D Listen via the APP: https://mudbetweenyourtoes.podbean.com/ #MudBetweenYourToes#PeterWood#Petewoodhk #LukeHunt #PunjiTrap #VietnamWar #Vietnam #Journalism #Politics #AFP @Lukeanthonyhunt #book #spies #spy #goodread #indochina #cambodia #PsyOps #Diplomat_APAC #ABC #NYTimesworld #TheEconomist #TheTimes #Reuters 

Occasionally, UCA News Podcath invites experts to discuss issues relevant to Asian communities.Australian Catholic teacher Garry Mulroy, who has been freed from a Cambodian jail on appeal, has vowed to fight his conviction for indecently assaulting six children. Mulroy claims he was the victim of a racket that extorted up to US$100,000 from him. The World Justice Project ranks Cambodia's justice system “the worst” in the region, listing it as second from bottom on an index of 113 countries. The prosecution never said how Mulroy assaulted the boys. His release was shrouded in secrecy amid fears of reprisals. In an interview with UCA News' Cambodia columnist  Luke Hunt, Mulroy tells that the six boys under his care were going to school and learning to play guitar among other activities designed to provide them with life skills. “Those boys were like family to me. They were the sons I never had. They were the biggest losers of this whole affair,” he says.

This week we go inside investigative operations in NYPD internal affairs and in the war and drugs to look at the police use of discretion to selectively break laws in order to pursue the bad guys. One former FBI special agent turned political philosopher argues that local and federal law enforcement are the biggest threat to the rule of law in their ongoing use of discretion to secure informant deals, perform sting operations, and otherwise break laws in order to enforce them. Guest voices include Robert Bryan, Luke Hunt, Nick Taiber, and Sarah Lustbader. In Slate Plus bonus episode: Sarah Lustbader talks about the incentive public defenders have to make informant deals, and whether we can justify liking police discretionary actions to break laws in the interest of busting crooked cops and politicians, but despise their use for low-level drug offenses. They conclude with talk about what makes for valid and free contracts between unequal parties, and whether there is a difference between and offer and a threat.

In this episode Matt Crawford speaks to journalist and author Luke Hunt about his book Punji Trap- Pham Xaun An: The Spy Who Didn't Love Us. This book tells the story of the Vietnam War from a point of view most people have not experienced before. A true story of intrigue about Pham Xuan An who was a communist agent undercover as a celebrated war correspondent for Time, Rueters and The New York Herald Tribune. Propaganda at its most effective Pham Xuan An fed the western media with the stories the communist machine wanted. A highly effective  spy that influenced the war effort in incalculable ways. A riveting book that you should read.
