Great starting point for those who know little to nothing
I’m traveling to Cambodia in the coming weeks for the first time. I know very little of Cambodian history beyond the fact of the horrible genocide, let alone Southeast Asian history. Seeking some kind of reference to orient me to this country’s history, I am so grateful I stumbled upon this podcast. I will recommend it to anyone saying they want to know more about Cambodia’s beautiful—and terrifying—history. Peters’ detailed and well researched recounting mixed with his story telling brings you innocently along for this march of history. The more I listen, the more I know the dark chapter of the story is approaching. Still, it’s a journey we should all go on to reflect on what society is truly capable of.
