United States8 years ago - Episode on Burma/Myanmar beat exploration of the issues to date
Thank you for the latest episode. This is the first discussion I have heard that gives a nuanced view of the history of Myanmar and its ethnic groups and the difficult political climate. Thank you Khin Ohmar, for your valuable insights.

Australia8 years ago - Very professional....
...and most informative. I like the mix between US, global and often Chinese features. It is probably the most diverse and yet entertaining podcast on my iPhone.

Switzerland9 years ago - Episodes on global issues are interesting
I found the first several episodes on China, Technology and other issues to be informative. The drift toward the obvious political biases of the podcaster in more recent episodes is much less interesting. Please get back to focusing on global issues.
