RAF Liberator bombing operations in India, Burma, and Thailand remain one of the least explored air campaigns of the Second World War. Flying long-range missions from Bengal, RAF crews attacked Japanese targets across Southeast Asia, including the infamous Thailand-Burma Railway, under demanding and often dangerous conditions. In this episode of the WW2 Podcast, I am talking to historian Matt Poole, author of Far East RAF Liberators: Roy Andrews and 215 Squadron. Together, we explore this campaign through the experiences of Roy Andrews, a Royal Australian Air Force wireless operator and air gunner who flew with RAF 215 Squadron on B-24 Liberator bombers during the final months of the war. Between October 1944 and April 1945, Roy Andrews flew bombing, strafing, and air-sea rescue missions over Burma and Thailand. By viewing the wider RAF air war through the lens of one airman, this episode examines long-range Liberator operations, low-level attacks, and daily life on a forward airfield in India, offering a personal perspective on an often overlooked chapter of the Second World War.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Meet the dynamic Kim Thanh Le ! Many thanks to my producer, Bright Su ,for introducing us. We had such fun getting to know each other and learning about her improv journey! She was born and raised in Hanoi and loves her city. She is a Hanoi-based improviser/writer. She is the founder and director of The Improv Hub, Vietnam's first community space dedicated to improv, and the Vietnam Improv Festival. Thanh has been building the improv community across Vietnam, bringing this special art form to audiences who are mostly experiencing it for the first time. A lot of the shows and classes she has produced in her country are bilingual, to treasure both local cultures and international bonds. She has also taught and performed in Australia, China, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. With an academic background in education and business, she also applies improv to design training and facilitation programs on collaboration and development for organizations. This past year she taught at the Oslo Impro Festival and taught "Culturally Proud" and "Generational Bridges" which she describes on our podcast. When not doing improv, she gets nerdy and writes case studies about Asian businesses, or takes her motorbike and wanders around Vietnam. You can learn more about her at: The Improv Hub https://www.improv.vn or any of the social media handles for The Improv Hub (FB/IG) and Vietnam Improv Festival (FB/IG).

In The Plant-Forward Kitchen: Southeast Asia, we explore the bold, aromatic cuisines of Vietnam and Thailand — where plant-forward traditions are deeply rooted in everyday meals. Southeast Asian cuisine has long embraced plant-forward principles, drawing from its Buddhist roots that promote compassion for all living beings and encourage followers to adopt an occasional or ongoing vegetarian diet. In this series, we cook vegetarian pho with Buddhist monk, Nguyen Dzoan Cam Van, and we sample a family-style spread of vegetarian offerings at Buddhist Vĩnh Nghiêm Pagoda Temple Restaurant. We make some Vietnamese classics, such as Vietnamese Lemongrass Tofu, with Chef Mai Pham of Lemon Grass Restaurant. At the Michelin-starred Vietnam House Chef/Owner Luke Nguyen shows us his take on a vegetarian pork belly salad. In Thailand, renowned chef and television presenter, Ian Kittichai gives us a whirlwind tour of Thai curries. Finally, we head to Michelin-starred Bo.Lan Restaurant in Bangkok, where Chefs Bo Songvisava and Dylan Jones make an eggplant relish, and discuss the importance of championing local farmers.

Of all the world's Muslim communities, the multiethnic Muslims of China are perhaps the least known, as though secluded by a Great Wall of linguistic, geographical and political dimensions. Yet preserved in mosques and shrines across the whole length of China—as well as India and Thailand —are manuscripts, woodblock prints and lithographs that reveal the interconnections of China's Muslims with their coreligionists in other parts of Asia.  In this episode, we travel far and wide by following these books and their authors from Nanjing and Xinjiang to Kanpur, Sri Lanka and Mecca. We learn about such influential figures as Wang Daiyu (c.1570-1660) and Ma Lianyuan (1842-1903), who not only wrote books in Chinese and Persian but also pioneered the development of Muslim printing. We also see how their teachings and travels linked China's Muslims to various regions of Asia beyond that illusory Great Wall. Nile Green talks to Rian Thum, author of Islamic China: An Asian History (Harvard University Press, 2025).

What does good welfare really look like for bears and other non-human animals living in zoos—and how can we measure it in meaningful, practical ways?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Anna Fourage, animal welfare expert, to explore the development of welfare assessment tools for captive bears, with a special focus on zoos across Asia and Thailand. She co-founded People or Pets in China, holds an MSc in International Animal Welfare, Ethics, and Law from the University of Edinburgh, and just finished her PhD in anthropology researching the role of zoos in Thailand. Anna shares key insights from recent research on creating a composite welfare assessment tool for hibernatory bears, unpacking its major findings, strengths, and current limitations.We dive into the reliability of keeper ratings as welfare indicators across different institutions, discussing the real challenges of intra- and inter-rater consistency. Together, we explore which behavioural, physiological, and environmental indicators are currently the most valid for assessing bear welfare.Beyond the science, this conversation tackles the practical and ethical realities of zoo welfare. How can welfare tools be designed to be both scientifically robust and realistically usable, especially in resource-limited settings? What are the biggest barriers facing Thai zoos in improving welfare standards?We also broaden the lens to the global ethical challenges of keeping large mammals in captivity, discussing the evolving mission of modern zoos—balancing conservation, education, and animal welfare—and how visitors can be meaningfully engaged in that mission.An essential listen for anyone interested in animal welfare science, zoo ethics, conservation, andthe future of captive wildlife care.Dive deeper...Environmental Parameters as Indicators of Bear Welfare (Fourage et al. 2025)-  https://doi.org/10.1002/zoo.70010High Prevalence of Dysfunctional Animal–Visitor Interactions in 225 Southeast Asian Zoos and Aquariums (Fourage et al., 2024)-  https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14223167Increase in the number of captive lions in Thailand suggests ineffective legislation (Fourage et al., 2025)  https://doi.org/10.1007/s44353-025-00040-4If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please email: podcast.daretocare@gmail.com.We are always happy about feedback!FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS - Instagram: @daretocare_podcast

James is known for his winter rounds in harsh conditions and this double round was no different. The recent cold snap that James had been tracking leading up to the attempt, gave perfect winter running conditions underfoot.We talk about his approach to kit, short rests and his support crew. We also look into his training, including a recent heat acclimation block that included running almost every day of his 3 week holiday in Thailand and coming home to continue the heat in sauna sessions designed by his coach Kim Collison.What will James do next?Watch/listen to the episode to find out!HT@ultrarunning_sam @hometrails_ http://www.youtube.com/@ultrarunningsam

I walked away from a seven-figure deal—and it changed everything.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm resharing my interview on The InPowered Life Podcast with my friend Rudi Riekstins and it's one of those conversations that cuts straight to the truth about success, fulfillment, and alignment.We dive into the pivotal moment when I chose to walk away from a seven-figure tech opportunity after realizing that external achievement without internal alignment leads to burnout and emptiness. On paper, everything looked like a win—but internally, something felt off. That decision became a major turning point in my life and ultimately led me down the path that shaped the Happy Hustle philosophy.In this conversation, I share how living abroad in Thailand, stepping away from the grind, and reconnecting with purpose, service, and community helped me redefine what success actually means. We also unpack my S.O.U.L.M.A.P.P.I.N framework—a practical tool designed to assess alignment across the most important areas of life, including health, relationships, service, and meaningful work. This framework has helped thousands of people identify blind spots, create intentional habits, and build lives that feel successful from the inside out.Rudi and I also explore why gratitude is a powerful antidote to the endless pursuit of “more,” how selfless service creates deeper fulfillment, and why community and masterminds are essential for sustainable personal growth. This episode is especially for anyone who feels burned out, boxed in by traditional definitions of success, or quietly wondering, Is this really it?If you've been questioning the old definition of success or feel called to build a life that actually feels good—not just looks good—this episode is a must-listen.Listen to the full episode here: caryjack.com/podcastin

As 2026 dawns, we look back at a tumultuous year.In this episode of The Diplomat's Asia Geopolitics podcast, Ankit Panda and Katie Putz reflect on 2025, a year dominated by Donald Trump's return to the U.S. presidency and the unspooling of his particular brand of foreign policy across the globe. In Asia, allies and adversaries alike navigated the new regime in Washington, one willing to wield tariffs as a cudgel against both, and walk back threats as often as it made them. Meanwhile, Trump had a propensity to insert itself into distant conflicts and declare lasting peace. In regard to both the India-Pakistan conflict and the conflict between Cambodia and Thailand, what peace has emerged is fragile, with the underlying problems unaddressed and likely to resurface in 2026.

Episode #459: This is the third episode in a three-part series that emerged from a three-day Digital Storytelling Workshop hosted by Insight Myanmar Podcast, with support from ANU and IDRC. What began as a room of strangers slowly became a community through the simple act of sharing stories. We were reminded that communication is not just the exchange of information, but the creation of a shared emotional world, built through attention and care. “Tell me more” became our refrain, and this episode is an invitation to step into that circle. On this episode, you'll hear the result of those few transformative days: honest voices, emerging perspectives, and storytellers beginning to find their footing. First up is Chit Tun, a teacher and marketing manager before the coup, who now lives as a refugee in Thailand with his family. The 2021 coup transformed his life. With his wife pregnant, he refused to let his child grow up under dictatorship. He supported her CDM participation, and became a protest leader before joining the armed resistance. However, he became disillusioned with some resistance groups, and eventually fled to Thailand. To make ends meet, he aids fellow refugees, teaches Burmese, and produces a podcast amplifying revolutionary voices. Zue, a Burmese language teacher and artist, roots her work in the beauty of her rural childhood, where weaving looms, bullock carts, and open fields shaped her creative and educational passions. After years of volunteer teaching and curriculum work, she founded the online Akkhaya Burmese Language Institute during COVID-19. Her YouTube and podcast projects also advance cultural preservation and pride. She was Myanmar's sole recipient of the selective Global Ambassador Fellow granted by the International Council on Human Rights, Peace and Politics (ICHRPP). Zue hopes to continue her teaching and art work to better serve communities. August describes a shift from engineering to the study of religion and philosophy after becoming disillusioned with Myanmar's education system. His academic path grows out of his work as a gender and LGBTQ rights trainer, where he has seen religion repeatedly misused to justify discrimination. He argues that Buddhist teachings emphasize compassion, morality, and nonviolence, not stereotyping or exclusion, and he wants to ground this claim in textual and scholarly evidence. Drawing on experiences with LGBTQ individuals from religious communities, he highlights the heavy social pressure they face. August hopes education can challenge conservative mindsets and support social change.

Today we'll be talking about Thailand and Cambodia's latest rounds of peace talks and nearly immediate violations, the People's Party's latest hopefuls found in familiar faces, one last round of whacky stories from around the Kingdom to send you off into your New Year's Celebration as well as a look back on some of the crazier stories we've experienced this year.

Every so often, you meet someone whose stories open a wider doorway into what adventure can teach us. My conversation with Melissa Rodway brought me into the quiet truths of travel, the power of humor, and the way purpose often appears when we least expect it.Melissa is a writer, journalist, and global traveler who has spent years observing human nature with curiosity and heart. Her debut book The People You Meet grew out of a four month journey across Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China. What started as simple emails written during long rides became the foundation for a book she revisited fifteen years later. She also created Fly Travel Radio, hosting more than 180 episodes, and recently stepped into standup comedy, blending honesty with lightness in a way that reflects her natural storytelling voice. In this conversation, Melissa shares how travel shifts as we grow, how intuition guides her next steps, and why some places feel instantly familiar while others never fully land. We talk about travel burnout, the art of knowing when it is time to go home, and the difference between joining someone else's adventure and creating your own. Melissa also opens up about connection, humor as a universal bridge, and the unexpected moments that shape us on the road.Takeaways from this episode Knowing when to pause or go home is an important part of every journey. Humor can create connection faster than anything else on the road. Purpose often appears when you choose to create meaning for yourself. Some places feel like home for reasons the mind cannot explain.Learn more about MelissaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fly_travel_mediaWebsite: https://www.flyrodway.comPodcast Archive: https://on.soundcloud.com/bLhpxbhiQRk0J0mTWWThe People You Meet book: https://a.co/d/6PCUKN4If this episode speaks to you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and follow along for more stories thatSend us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Cambodia and Thailand officials are meeting in China to help ease a serious border dispute.
