My podcast is ALIVE!
Dear Friends & Family.
It is with great pleasure that I am able to share with you all the first episode of my podcast THE ASK.
Dedicated to hosting guests from around the world and from all walks of life and backgrounds, it is my sincere hope that through this podcast listeners will be able to explore life, the universe and everything(thank you for that line Douglas Adams, RIP <3) alongside myself.
The first episode of this podcast centers around the 1976 Thammasat University massacre in Thailand and the power of a single photograph has to frame the memories and future of an entire nation. For this podcast I interviewed:
Massacre survivor Professor Thongchai Winichakul, Professor Emeritus, Department of History. University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Professor Clare Veal. Lecturer, MA Asian Art Histories, LaSalle College of the Arts.
And the child of massacre survivors, Teirra Kamolvattanavith, Journalist & Multimedia Producer at https://thisrupt.co/
If any of you would like to know more about this story, I would encourage you to check out Professor Winichakul’s latest book available in Kindle, paperback and hardback:
Moments of Silence: The Unforgetting of the October 6, 1976, Massacre in Bangkok
It would not have been possible to publish this episode without the help my longtime friends Phil Jandaly and Ali Gülen. They both provided crucial post production support not currently available to me and I am deeply grateful for their generous help making this episode happen. Thank you both!
I would also like to thank my longtime collaborator Arlene Cheryl Calleja-Oting for her always excellent website design work on the www.theask.org – thank you for designing a great platform for my podcast Arlene!
