The 9pm Indonesia and Thailand Crash Update with Erin Cook

Listen on

Episode notes

As regular listeners to the Edict will know, I reckon Australians should know more about the other nations in our region. So our special guest today is journalist Erin Cook, who covers South-East Asia, and we're talking Indonesia and Thailand. Mostly.

Erin produces the excellent newsletter “Dari Mulut ke Mulut”, an English-language summary of what's happening in the region.

In this episode we talk about Indonesia's soon-to-be president Prabowo Subianto and the nation's plans to move the capital from Jakarta to the new city of Nusantara. We attempt to give you an introduction to the complicated and often amusing politics of Thailand. And we take a side journey into the politics of Myanmar and two varieties of popular music.
