4.7 out of 5 stars from 11 ratings
  • Excellent material - but needs more focus

    I've been searching for more podcasts about Southeast Asia and I was happy to find the Crossroads podcast but it could benefit from a few small improvements.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Politics of Buddhist Protection in Post-Coup Thailand with Prakirati Satasut part 2
Q: What is the four-views model of Thai Buddhism's political roles?
The model outlines four interacting schemas—state, monk, monarch, and civil society—that shape how Buddhism is deployed in governance, legitimacy, and reform, with real-world shifts depending on who holds power and how the Sangha aligns with or resists state goals.
