“I listened to the June 26th episode where Mellissa and Jasmine assisted their mother and grandmother in telling their stories of oppression, family separation, fleeing to Thailand, and eventually immigrating to the US as a result of the Khmer Rouge assent to power in Cambodia. The telling is raw because listeners get to hear Khmer being spoken and then translated. I usually listen to podcasts at 2x but opted to slow this one down to really listen to the spoken Khmer and translations. I especially enjoyed hearing the laughter of their mother and grandmother as they recounted small glimpses of humor amidst a very difficult and dark time. This podcast increased my awareness of Cambodian history and struggles in a way that allowed me to connect to the interviewees. Keep it up!”
