“Hi Charles, thank you so much for this podcast. I am a Chinese national living in Singapore and i have always been curious to learn about the History of Southeast Asia, especially that I have been living here for 10 year and travelled quite a lot in this region. My perception has also changed a lot since, I start to understand that Southeast Asians are not made up of an uniform racial/cultural group but consists of people with very diverse background and interesting history. Each of their story is worth listening to. This podcast is really informative and engaging at the same time. Though sometimes it is hard to imagine the past glories of places when I visit places like Malaka, Penang, Banda Aceh, Jakarta nowadays (most of the relics are either destroyed or have lost its importance), this podcast adds very interesting perspectives to understand the past and current national/racial narratives of the region. I definitely feel more attached this region and wish to travel even more. Really a big thank to you!”
