Asia Pacific Currents

An Australian show about Asia could go wrong in so many ways. This one doesn’t at all. It isn’t a very slick production, almost amateurish at times, but the content is authentically from the region, not filtered through an Australian point of view. American shows have much to learn from this approach And Asia here means all the way from Palestine to East Asia.

I’ve been listening to various Asia-Pacific news radio shows and podcasts for decades. None of the others are from a working class perspective. This program covers underreported or unreported worker struggles, often through direct conversation with representatives of those workers.
