History of Southeast Asia

This is not the usual episode. This is an announcement for the upcoming Intelligent Speech Conference of 2026. If you'd like to attend, here is what you need to know.

Okay, here's the latest episode! Right after the fighting on the Thai-Cambodian border in late July, I decided to do an episode on the crisis, because to many of you it must have seemed like it came out of nowhere. I called it a mini-episode, on a par with what I recorded in 2023 when I shared my thoughts about ancient aliens, but after doing the research and recording what I had, the result is long enough to call a regular episode. Add to that the times when the real world got in the way (again), and now I'm done, just over a month later. Listen and enjoy, while I get started on the next episode. Cheers!Do you think you would like to become a podcaster on Blubrry? Click here for the details on joining.

Greetings, dear listeners! Better late than never, as the saying goes. Three months after I gave you the previous episode of the podcast, a new episode is now available! And before you ask, I am still having a challenging year. Besides real world concerns like the ones I told you about last time, this time I had a difficult subject to research. Today we are visiting three groups of Indonesian islands that most people have never even heard of. Where I live, this time of year is a vacation time. If you are ready to really get away from it all, join me in this episode!Do you think you would like to become a podcaster on Blubrry? Click here for the details on joining.

At last, I am back with another episode for the podcast! So far this has been a difficult year for me. Not only has the weather been bad enough for my state to be declared a disaster area, but I lost my wife in January. For this episode, we finish our multi-episode look at the island of Timor, by covering its history in the late twentieth century. Now what place will we visit next?Do you think you would like to become a podcaster on Blubrry? Click here for the details on joining.

Merry Christmas, if you're inclined to observe that holiday! For this episode of the podcast, we go back to Timor, at the eastern fringe of Southeast Asia, and look at its history during World War II.Do you think you would like to become a podcaster on Blubrry? Click here for the details on joining.
