Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick explores the historical processes of anti-colonial struggle in the 20th century and how they illuminate the geopolitical crises of 2026.We examine the "imperial boomerang"—how the techniques of colonial violence return to the metropole—and the shift from the age of imperial civil war (1914-1945) to the age of imperial decline. Nick discusses the recent, shocking speech by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Munich Security Conference, where he urged European leaders to reclaim their "civilizational confidence" and reject the "global welfare state."From the Indian National Army to the Viet Minh, we look at how national liberation movements shattered the old empires. Nick argues that the current attempts by the US to reassert hegemony through force—in Venezuela and Nigeria—are doomed to fail against a Global South that has fundamentally changed. Is the West trying to fight 19th-century colonial wars in a 21st-century world?Key Topics:The Munich Speech: Marco Rubio's call for a return to "civilizational" power.National Liberation: How India and Vietnam broke the British and French empires.The American Empire: From the "Pax Americana" to the transactional gangster state.The Global South: Why the new non-aligned world will not submit to neocolonialism.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

This week, we're honored to welcome Melissa Rodway to the campfire, author, podcast host, and lifelong adventurer who lives by a simple but unsettling truth. If you constantly feel like you are meant to be doing something else, you probably are. Melissa has followed that inner agitation across continents, letting curiosity and discomfort guide her toward a more honest life.Melissa takes us deep into her multi month journey through Southeast Asia, traveling through Thailand, Lao, Cambodia, Vietnam, and China. What began as an open ended backpacking trip became something far more personal. From leech filled jungle treks and chaotic ferry rides to unexpected luxury resorts and powerful encounters with locals, Melissa shares how travel stripped away distractions and forced her to confront herself. You cannot escape your own head by changing countries. But you can learn to listen to it.In this episode, we explore the meaning of agitation, the courage to leave a life that no longer fits, and the wisdom of knowing when a journey is complete. We talk about resilience, human connection, and why the real story of any adventure is not the destination but the people you meet. Join us for a thoughtful and inspiring conversation about paying attention to what lights you up and having the bravery to follow it.

Basado en el OH‑6 Cayuse, fue profundamente modificado para llevar a cabo misiones de espionaje, sabotaje y extracción de información en territorio enemigo. Con un sistema de rotor silencioso, fuselaje tratado para absorber radar y escape rediseñado, esta aeronave podía operar a muy baja altitud sin ser detectada por el enemigo. En este programa especial, exploramos su historia, tecnología y operaciones dentro del proyecto “Operation Ivy Bells” sobre Hanoi en 1972, con el análisis de Esaú Rodríguez, Julio “Caronte” y Francisco García Campa.

A renewed search for missing boy Gus Lamont will continue today and it comes as his grandmother, Josie Murray, faces firearms charges unrelated to his disappearance from a South Australian property in September.Detectives returned to Oak Park Station near Yunta yesterday to search for the four-year-old.Gus's grandparents say the family has fully cooperated with police and they're devastated the case has been declared a major crime.New Liberal leader Angus Taylor has distanced himself from a leaked draft immigration policy that proposes banning people coming to Australia from terror-declared areas.The proposal was developed under former leader Sussan Ley but never discussed in full with shadow cabinet.The opposition leader's still pushing for stronger security checks for migrants, as he prepares to unveil his new shadow cabinet.Legendary Hollywood actor Robert Duvall is being remembered as a versatile performer who was dedicated to his craft.He captured the haunting reality of war in Vietnam, in Apocalypse Now, giving one of cinema's most unforgettable lines, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning".He also starred in the Godfather films and won the Oscar for best actor in 1983 for Tender Mercies.His wife says he gave everything to his characters.

The Most Dangerous Thing Trump Can Do. Why Paul Takes Cold Showers, Coaches Youth Football and Watches FallOut From Paul: “Chuck gave me the time and space to really lay it all out. From Trump's plans for ICE and the Pentagon, to the legacy of Vietnam in politics, to what I'm building for independent vet candidates with IVA and in independent media with my show. And, we talk football, morning routines, FallOut, and if I'll ever run for office. It's smart, fast and fun. And if you dig my show, I think you'll enjoy and appreciate it.Happy weekend people!” We've got a great bonus episode for you, featuring Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff's appearance on the Chuck Toddcast. You know Paul from this show and probably cable news, but you might not know that for the past twenty years he has been one of America's most fierce advocates for veterans since founding Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Now, as host of the Independent Americans podcast, he's mobilizing a different kind of army—independent veterans ready to run for office and reject both major parties. In this wide-ranging conversation, Chuck and Paul explore why over 50% of veterans identify as political independents, how Pete Hegseth is transforming military culture in dangerous ways, and why the Pentagon was Trump's first strategic target for a reason. They discuss the troubling parallels between ICE recruitment tactics and military messaging, the chilling effect on dissent among military retirees, and why veterans like Mark Kelly are uniquely positioned to push back. Paul breaks down his Independent Veterans of America initiative, which is recruiting 100 candidates this fall—including potential Senate runs in Nebraska, Montana, Idaho, and South Dakota. He argues that one independent veteran senator could become the most powerful member of the Senate, and explains why breaking the two-party stranglehold starts with veterans who already wore camouflage instead of red or blue. They also dig into the Vietnam generation's political scars, why no Vietnam veteran ever became president, and how the all-volunteer military has disconnected most Americans from the human cost of war. Plus: football as democracy, cold showers as discipline, and why Fallout on Amazon Prime might be the most relevant show for understanding corporate power in 2026. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

Recentering Southeast Asia: Politics, Religion and Maritime Connections (Routledge, 2026) assesses the impact of European colonization in the late 19th and early 20th century in ‘restructuring' the shared past of India and Southeast Asia. It provides case studies that transcend colonial constructs and adopt newer approaches to understanding the shared past. The authors explore these developments through the lens of political figures like Jawaharlal Nehru (1889–1964) and re-examine themes such as the Greater India Society (1926–1959) established in Calcutta, and the role of Buddhism in post-World War II connections, as the repatriation of the mortal remains of Japanese soldiers killed in Burma (Myanmar) acquired urgency. Drawing on a diverse range of sources including archaeology, Buddhist texts, the afterlives of the Hindu temples, maritime networks, and inscriptions from Vietnam and central India, the book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of history, Buddhism, archaeology, heritage studies, cultural studies, and political history as well as South and Southeast Asian history.

Tâm is the first listener-suggested guest, thanks to regular listener, Brandon Coleman. Tâm is an entertaining and interesting guest that has an in-depth story and many insights to share about life in Saigon, which can be seen by the length of this episode. Born in Texas to Vietnamese refugees, Tâm moved to Saigon after a stint in Singapore. Here in Saigon she worked at an international branding agency but soon started creating Vietnamese-Mexican dishes and hosting dinners out of her apartment, creating a closed-door restaurant named Saigonita. Soon Saigonita appeared in Vice Munchies and was profiled in Saigoneer so she decided to quit her corporate career to pursue her passion in food. Since then, she's been interviewed by publications in Vietnam, Singapore, the US, Italy, France; and has given a TEDx Talk. She is currently getting to more deeply know her roots and explore Vietnam's culinary scene through travels around the country.-------------------Theme music composed by Lewis Wright.Main Cover Art designed by Niall Mackay and Le Nguyen.Episode art designed by Niall Mackay, with pictures supplied by guests and used with permission."Send me a message!"Support the show

Hiroki Kato, Founder of Arches and Jeremy Au discuss how leaving a safe Japanese corporate career pushed Hiroki into Southeast Asia's faster markets, where exposure to fraud, cultural contrast, and insider truth reshaped his view of risk and opportunity. They explore how Vietnam's optimism expanded his ambition, why public data often hides reality, and how expert conversations became the foundation for building Arches. The discussion connects personal courage with business execution, showing how disciplined hiring, focused delivery, and human trust systems built a competitive expert network. 02:30 Leaving corporate Japan felt like social betrayal: Hiroki chose impact over security despite family pressure to stay inside an elite lifetime career track. 09:10 Vietnam rewired his ambition: A young, optimistic workforce expanded his belief in growth, risk, and personal upside compared to mature Japan. 12:45 Fake books exposed the limits of public data: Insider voices revealed hidden accounting manipulation and misuse of investor funds no spreadsheet showed. 15:05 Two expert conversations changed his life: Direct interviews overturned the company narrative and proved people beat reports in emerging markets. 18:10 Arches began as survival entrepreneurship: Freelance work funded the company while he built the expert network in parallel. 20:10 Overdelivery created early market wedge: Deep service to a few clients built trust and defensibility in a crowded expert industry. 26:00 Crisis permanently lowered fear of risk: Surviving near collapse reframed failure as damage, not death, unlocking bolder decisions.  Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea English: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Bahasa Indonesia: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Chinese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Vietnamese: Spotify | YouTube | Apple Podcasts Watch, listen or read the full insight at https://www.bravesea.com/blog/hiroki-kato-inside-market-truth #SoutheastAsia #StartupJourney #FounderStory #EmergingMarkets #VietnamBusiness #ExpertNetworks #EntrepreneurMindset #CorporateToStartup #RiskAndGrowth #BRAVEpodcast

L'ospite di questo episodio è Piergiorgio Odifreddi che è l'autore di “C'è del marcio in Occidente” pubblicato da Raffaello Cortina Editore. Piergiorgio Odifreddi ha studiato matematica in Italia, Stati Uniti e Unione Sovietica e ha insegnato Logica matematica presso l'Università di Torino e la Cornell University di New York. Piergiorgio Odifreddi, come molti italiani nati nel dopoguerra, è cresciuto nel mito degli Stati Uniti e dei soldati americani “liberatori”: sono stati loro, d'altra parte, ad aver salvato suo padre e suo nonno, entrambi deportati dai nazifascisti. Eppure, a partire dalla guerra del Vietnam, il suo rapporto con gli Stati Uniti inizia a cambiare. Ci studia per due anni, e ci insegna per venti. Viaggia in tutto il mondo, ed esplora in lungo e in largo il continente americano. Con sempre minor sorpresa, e sempre maggior fastidio, si rende conto dei modi violenti in cui gli Stati Uniti l'hanno sempre fatta da padroni: sfruttamento economico, embargo commerciale, occupazione militare… In questo libro riflette sull'arroganza dell'Occidente, anche attraverso i grandi pensatori del passato, Fidel Castro, Albert Einstein, Konrad Lorenz, Nelson Mandela e altri, e ci invita a non farci alleviare la coscienza dall'illusione che, forse, gli altri possono persino essere peggio di noi.

Welcome back to Gnostic Insights and the Gnostic Reformation on Substack. It’s been a few weeks since I recorded a live episode, and here I am. Now, I don’t have any particular Gnostic insights for you today. However, I do have some interesting news to share and a very strange experience I had a couple of days ago. So, let’s start with the news. One of the reasons I don’t have a new episode for you this week, in particular a philosophical episode, is because I’ve been working on a stage play called A Midwife’s Trial. I wrote this play about 15 years ago, and I pulled it out of the drawer a couple weeks ago and decided to polish it and get it on its feet. I went with a friend to a little theater a few weeks ago, and they were putting on 12 Angry Men. Now, if you’ve never seen the movie 12 Angry Men, the original, there’s a newer movie, really bad, but the old classic movie starring Henry Fonda and 11 other very well-known actors of the black and white movie era—it’s a great movie. You should see it. It’s the story of the jurors in a deliberation room. They’ve just watched a trial, and they’re in the deliberation room. The entire movie or play takes place around the deliberation table, and they are the 12 Angry Men, the jury. My play is also a trial story, but it’s the trial side of it, so it makes like a nice bookend to 12 Angry Men. So, that’s why it reminded me to get my play back out and try it again. I had sent it around to play festivals and whatnot about 15 years ago. It made one final round, but didn’t win any prizes, so I put it away. It’s based upon my doctoral dissertation, The Trial of a California Midwife, and it is an enactment of actual trial testimony from a couple of midwives, an obstetrician, and then the two attorneys, one for the prosecution and one for the defense, and of course the judge. Those are all the characters. And then it cuts back and forth to a reenactment of this difficult birth that is the subject of the trial. So, it’s a very interesting play. I think it’s fascinating personally, and I’m hoping that audiences will too. I went ahead and contacted the creative director of the theater where I watched 12 Angry Men, and he says, yeah, sounds good. We’ll get you on the schedule for August. So, now it looks like I’m going to have a stage play staged in the town of Phoenix, Oregon. It’s between Ashland and Medford in southern Oregon. I’m going to produce and direct the play myself, which means that for the first time in my theater experience, I will have the power of casting, which is very exciting as well. Anyway, so that’s a little piece of exciting news for me, but it’s been taking up my mind and it’s been taking up my writing time. So, that’s my excuse for not having any new Gnostic Insights episodes for you. And if you live in the southern Oregon area or northern California, I do hope you will come and see the play. I’m also in the process of having the Children of the Fullness: A Gnostic Myth children’s book turned into an animated video. That’s very exciting. I got together with a fellow on LinkedIn, and he’s done a great job of animating these still pictures that are in the children’s book. So, we’re in the final polishing stage of that also. That should be available before too long on YouTube or wherever I can figure out it should go. Logos Falls What I mainly want to tell you about today is a very strange experience I had this week, day before yesterday. In November, my insurance coverage changed, and my primary care provider was not going to be covered by the insurance company that I had been with. So, I had to look for a new primary care provider, and it just so happens I don’t live very far from the VA hospital in White City, Oregon. It used to be an Army base in World War II, and then they changed it into a Veterans Administration hospital. And, by the way, part of the reason I linked into them, is because I actually live in one of the barracks from White City. My historic home is two parts. Half of the house is an 1875 farmhouse. That’s a two-story farmhouse, and I rent out that part of the house as an Airbnb rental, and it can accommodate parties of six pretty easily. The other side of my house is a set of Army barracks that were stuck onto the farmhouse around 1949, after the war was over, and White City was disassembling itself as an Army base, and people bought the old barracks as scrap lumber. So, the man that lived in my house in the 1940s bought two Army barracks and stuck them on the side of this farmhouse, and I live in one of those Army barracks. The other barracks is the garage. I like living in the barracks. It’s a very nice space, very cabin-y feeling, built in the 1930s, all local wood. So, I signed up with the VA to be my primary care physicians, and I have to tell you, very nice people. I’ve been to a chiropractor, an acupuncturist, and a primary care person there at the VA over the last couple of months. All three of them from other countries. That’s kind of funny to me. From Bulgaria, from Sri Lanka, and I didn’t even ask where the acupuncturist is from, but he sounds Eastern European. Very nice people and very competent care providers. Well, anyway, back to the weird part of the story. Day before yesterday, I went out to White City, my first appointment with their chiropractor. The VA hospital complex there, is made up of old two-story brick buildings. I think they probably replaced what must have been earlier wooden buildings when World War II was going on, and so these are really boring-looking boxes of brick buildings, two-story boxes, and they’re all right near each other and connected by corridors or breezeways. My appointment was in the upper floor of building 209, but you enter through the lower floor of 201, and there are like eight buildings you’ve got to get through to get to 209, and they’re all connected. That’s the way you get to building 209. The parking lot’s in front of building 201. So, I had brought a book with me, a library book, a very good library book that I’m enjoying reading that my brother Bill had recommended. He’s loving it. It’s called Culpability, and it’s about a car crash and who was at fault. Very well written and philosophical at the same time, and it includes AI and all kinds of stuff, self-driving automobiles and whatnot. So, I wanted to bring the book with me to read in the waiting room. Not that I’ve ever had to wait, because here’s the peculiar thing about this VA facility that I’ve been going to—I seem to be the only patient. It’s like I’m in one of those Reddit spaces called Mall World or Liminal Spaces, if any of you have ever been into any of those types of Reddit discussion groups, because there’s hardly any patients. Then the only people I see as I’m walking, and it takes, honestly, it takes about 20 minutes or a half hour to get from where I walk in to get back there to the chiropractor’s office. Maybe I saw three patients in all of that time. Corridor after corridor after corridor with empty waiting rooms, and the only people you see is glancing into office rooms, on the right and left, where people are working at their computers on whatever the heck they’re working on, because I never see patients there. It’s very strange. So, that in itself is very much like this place called Liminal Space or Mall World on Reddit. Anyway, I had brought my dog. He was waiting for me in the car. He’s a small dog, and so he has basically a high chair set up in the passenger seat, and he sits there to be able to see out the window as we drive along. Well, I know he likes to get in the driver’s seat and lay down when I’m doing errands and out of the car, so I set my book down on the roof of the car and straightened out a towel on the driver’s seat, and then I went into the building. Now, I lost the book somewhere. It’s a library book. I lost a library book. I don’t know if I left it on the roof of the car or if somewhere between 201 and 209. I did use a ladies room, and it had a couple of stalls in there, and it had a window with windowsill. I didn’t want to leave my purse out there on the windowsill, but I didn’t mind leaving the library book on the windowsill, so I took the purse into the stall with me, and then I came out. And by the time I got to the chiropractor’s office—of course, I was the only patient there—I didn’t have the book anymore. At first I thought I’d left it on the roof of the car when I was straightening the towel for the dog, so I said to the corpsman who was helping the chiropractor, oh darn, I left my book on the roof of the car. I hope nobody steals it. When the appointment was over and I made my long way back to the car, there was no book on the roof of the car, so either someone had stolen it, I figured, or I had left it in the bathroom on the windowsill instead. I wasn’t sure whether I left it on… I know I set it on the roof of the car, but perhaps I picked it up and took it into the bathroom. So I went back into the building and attempted to retrace my steps between 201 and 209 to look for, first, the stairwell I had taken—and that’s another thing that figures in these liminal spaces stories–stairwells. The stairwell I had taken from the first floor to the second floor in one of those buildings, I don’t know which one, had yellow daisies. It was a yellow flower motif painted on the stairwell walls. All of the stairwells have different motifs. So I was looking for the yellow stairwell that I took to the second floor and I couldn’t find it. So I went back and forth all this time looking for that yellow stairwell, couldn’t find it, and I’m passing through these empty hallways, and when I say there were very few patients, the weird thing about White City VA, of course, is that it seems that most of the patients that I’ve seen there are Vietnam or Korean veterans because they’re very elderly and usually in wheelchairs or walkers. I myself am not a spring chicken, but I can walk pretty good. Well, anyway, so that’s the other weird thing about it. The only people you see are elderly. So I’m looking for the yellow stairwell. I can’t find it, and I opened all those doors. I could not find the right ladies room, either, and I, of course, didn’t see the book. So I spent probably an hour and a half combing the hallways of 201-209 looking for a stairwell I couldn’t find and looking for a restroom I couldn’t find and looking for this book that I lost. But here’s the weird thing about the whole experience—I mean, I spent all this time—it was just like a dream. I do have a repetitive dream where I’m searching for something that I can’t find. So I thought to myself, oh my god, this is just like my dream, only it was for real. And it’s true. I couldn’t find it. Here’s how I would characterize it: I lost an object day before yesterday in a very confusing place in a room that I could not locate accessed by a stairwell that apparently doesn’t exist. So that was one weird experience. I wanted to share that with you for some reason. I figured, oh no, this is really going to trigger my dream, but I haven’t had that dream in the last two days. I just had the actual experience. If this prompts anything in you, please share it with us. I’d love to hear back from you. God bless us all, and onward and upward.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick returns to the grim realities of the Vietnam War through the eyes of one of the 20th century's most formidable journalists: Martha Gellhorn.Drawing on Philip Knightley's The First Casualty, we explore how Gellhorn—a veteran of the Spanish Civil War and D-Day—exposed the "hearts and minds" strategy as a hollow lie. While American generals bragged about "zapping Charlie Cong," Gellhorn visited the hospitals and refugee camps, documenting the civilian carnage inflicted by US firepower.Nick delves into the racialized hatred that fueled the war, examining how the dehumanization of the Vietnamese people ("dinks," "gooks") led to a culture of normalized depravity where ears were taken as trophies and massacres were dismissed as "turkey shoots." We also discuss how the US military learned from the PR disasters of Vietnam to create the sanitized "embedded" journalism of the Gulf Wars.Plus: A reminder for history students! Our American History Masterclass (1945-74) is this Sunday, February 15th. Join us for a deep dive into the Cold War, Civil Rights, and Vietnam.Key Topics:Martha Gellhorn: The reporter who refused to look away from civilian suffering.Dehumanization: How racism became a "patriotic virtue" in Vietnam.The Myth of Hearts and Minds: The disconnect between official rhetoric and the reality of napalm.Managing the Media: Why newspapers refused to print the truth about American atrocities.Books Mentioned:The First Casualty by Philip KnightleyDispatches by Michael HerrMaoism: A Global History by Julia LovellExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In this emotional episode, Tim shares a powerful personal story about acceptance, leadership, and the impact one person can have. Tim recounts meeting Ron, a Vietnam veteran and former jet fighter pilot, during a difficult season in Florida. Ron survived ejecting from his jet twice during the war and became a mentor and friend whose courage and leadership deeply influenced Tim's life and martial arts journey. Following his passing, Tim recently visited Ron's wife and was honored with Ron's flight jacket — a symbolic reminder of legacy, friendship, and service. It's a moving tribute to mentorship, gratitude, and the call to attack life — not others.

In this episode, our market experts examine how shifting trade flows, growing shipping uncertainty and evolving supply dynamics are reshaping the global bitumen landscape in 2026. Importers across Asia are navigating longer voyage times, tighter vessel availability and escalating freight costs, all of which are creating greater unpredictability in securing prompt cargoes. The discussion also delves into Asia‑Pacific's rapidly changing supply picture, driven in part by a sharp rise in Chinese exports. Competitive pricing from China is increasingly redefining traditional trade relationships across Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand. The episode further explores how infrastructure spending trends are diverging across major regional markets. China faces slowing growth, while India, Southeast Asia and Australia continue to benefit from stronger project pipelines. These contrasting demand trajectories highlight how broader economic conditions, government investment and market maturity are influencing consumption patterns. Collectively, these factors illustrate a bitumen market in transition, shaped by new trade routes, shifting competitiveness and evolving regional demand.

It's a Mattjority Report Thursday on the Majority Report   On today's program:   Tom Homan announces that the ICE Operation Surge in Minnesota have concluded. We'll see that really means.   David Bier from the Cato Institute testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Somali Fraud where he details that massive fraud that is being committed by DHS.   Noah Kulwin and Brendan James from the Blowback Podcast join Matt to discuss the U.S. oil blockade on Cuba that is starving the country.   In the Fun Half:   Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder join the show.   AOC says that Pam Bondi's erratic performance at the House Judiciary Committee hearing was a result of her knowledge that she is implicated in a massive cover-up on behalf of the Epstein class.   Pam Bondi insinuates that Rep. Becca Balint is antisemitic. Balint, who lost her grandfather in the holocaust goes ballistic over Bondi's heinous accusation.   Rep. Deborah Ross (D-NC) asks Pam Bondi if she believes that Ghislaine Maxwell should have been transferred to a minimum-security prison and Bondi erupts.   Rep. Thomas Massie tells CNN that he has seen in the unredacted files that Howard Lutnick gave Epstein his number some 7 years after he claims to have been repulsed by Epstein.   Bill Maher and Adam Carolla talk about how they think they are not conservatives but rather that the left has recently lost their mind.   In the 90s Bill Maher was talking about how Vietnam was a just war and needed to happen. This muddies his theory that he wasn't always a conservative.   all that and more To connect and organize with your local ICE rapid response team visit ICERRT.com The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

A new book from Minnesota children's author V.T. Bidania looks at the profound impacts of war and displacement through the eyes of an 11-year-old girl. “A Year Without Home” follows Gao Sheng and her family as they live through the wars in Laos and Vietnam during the 1960s and 70s. Eventually, they are forced to escape their beloved home in Laos and make their way to refugee camps in Thailand. Written as verse, the story is a break from Vong's other novels. It is her middle grade debut. She joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.

In this bite-sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, I speak with Cemal Ezel OBE, CEO and founder of Change Please.Cemal shares the defining moment that reshaped his life and career. On a long bus journey in Vietnam, a stranger asked him a question that forced deep reflection. Sitting in a rocking chair at ninety, what legacy would he leave behind. That question led Cemal to build Change Please, a social enterprise using coffee to tackle homelessness.Today, Change Please trains homeless people as baristas, pays a living wage, provides housing support, and reinvests all profits into reducing homelessness. The business is stocked nationwide in Sainsbury's and is expanding internationally while maintaining strong environmental standards across its supply chain.This episode explores purpose-led entrepreneurship, building the right team, choosing mentors carefully, and why founders must take time to recognise progress.Key TakeawaysWhy reflecting on legacy clarifies decision makingHow small actions can scale meaningful impactThe importance of surrounding yourself with experienced mentorsWhy founders must pause to acknowledge progress

En avril 1975, les derniers jours de la guerre du Vietnam se jouent dans le chaos. Les forces nord-vietnamiennes approchent de Saïgon, la capitale du Sud, et l'effondrement du régime sud-vietnamien paraît inévitable. C'est dans ce contexte d'urgence qu'est lancée l'opération Babylift, une vaste évacuation aérienne destinée à transporter des milliers d'enfants vietnamiens vers les États-Unis et d'autres pays occidentaux. Derrière l'image d'un sauvetage humanitaire spectaculaire se cache une histoire complexe, mêlant compassion, improvisation et zones d'ombre.L'opération est officiellement annoncée par le président américain Gerald Ford au début du mois d'avril 1975. Son objectif affiché est simple : évacuer les orphelins vietnamiens menacés par l'avancée communiste et leur offrir une nouvelle vie à l'étranger. En quelques semaines, plus de 3 000 enfants sont transportés, principalement vers les États-Unis, mais aussi vers l'Australie, le Canada et certains pays européens.Pour l'opinion publique occidentale, les images sont saisissantes : des nourrissons emmaillotés, alignés dans des avions militaires, encadrés par des infirmières et des bénévoles. Elles suscitent une vague d'émotion mondiale et renforcent l'idée d'un geste humanitaire massif.Mais très vite, l'opération est frappée par un drame. Le 4 avril 1975, le premier vol Babylift s'écrase peu après le décollage de Saïgon, causant la mort de plus de cent personnes, dont de nombreux enfants. Malgré ce choc, l'opération se poursuit, illustrant la détermination des autorités américaines à accélérer les évacuations.Avec le recul, l'opération Babylift apparaît beaucoup plus controversée qu'il n'y paraît au premier regard. D'abord, tous les enfants évacués n'étaient pas orphelins. Certains avaient encore des parents vivants, qui, dans la panique générale, ont pu croire confier temporairement leurs enfants à des structures d'accueil, sans comprendre qu'ils quitteraient définitivement le pays. Dans d'autres cas, les dossiers d'adoption étaient incomplets ou imprécis.Se pose alors une question éthique majeure : s'agissait-il uniquement de sauver des vies, ou aussi de vider des orphelinats à la hâte, sans vérification rigoureuse ? Pour certains historiens, l'opération répondait aussi à un objectif politique : donner une image positive de l'engagement américain au moment même où la guerre se soldait par un échec.Des décennies plus tard, de nombreux adultes issus de Babylift cherchent encore leurs origines. Certains ont retrouvé leurs familles biologiques, d'autres non. Leur parcours illustre les conséquences humaines durables de cette évacuation massive.L'opération Babylift reste ainsi un symbole ambigu : à la fois acte de solidarité et épisode troublant d'une guerre marquée par la précipitation et la confusion. Elle rappelle que même les gestes présentés comme humanitaires peuvent soulever, avec le temps, des questions profondes sur la responsabilité, le consentement et la mémoire. Hébergé par Acast.

We need some light relief in these tricky times and I found these stories just perfect! Finding love while you're travelling sounds like it belongs in a romantic comedy, but even those must be inspired by truth: this episode has stories from three couples who met in far-flung parts of the world, sometimes both far from home. If you think about all the decisions that led them to be in the same place at the same time, you have to really start thinking that fate is a thing! First up I chat with Edward and Kim, who together tell the story of how they met - and later, how they became a couple and many years later, husband and wife - when Kim decided to head to Tanzania to do some volunteer work before going to graduate school. Next, Hannah Balint explains how she was about to leave Vietnam after living and teaching there, and just a few weeks before her plane took off, she bumped into a handsome Australian in an unusual place. Finally, I talk to my friend Shaney Hudson about how she originally met her Dutch husband. This tale also crosses many continents and it's pretty amazing that love always seems to win the day!
