I'm a Yank and thus suffer from an extremely inward and myopic news media. Before subscribing to Asia Rising a few years ago, I knew next to nothing about the intricacies of things like India's and China's water rights feuds and the stlil resonant effects of Thailand's recent coup. I learn something new everytime I listen, which is a terrific feeling. The various hosts through the series (usually the affable Matt Smith) do well to bring out insightful information from the various guests, and everything is conveyed in a way that is easy for a bloke like me to understand without being too simplified. Highly recommend.

Not an unbiased view.....

insight full laughable and self indulgin strategies are funny especially wen we leave the state to grampa j"s houser
