    Episode 22: The Westerner and the Dogs

    A little something different this episode, it's a Nek Kruu Sokhary tour-de-force. First she presents with a short tale of cross-cultural interaction, then I have people watch it in on iPod in both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh and give their opinions on it. In the end, Nek Kruu
    provides us with her final analysis. Illustrations by artist Linda Saphan.

Wonderful podcast!

I just recently subscribed to this podcast, and I love it. Frank Smith takes a fun, somtimes wacky approach that is very interesting, and he speaks Khmer surprisingly well.

Great Podcast!

I love viewing this podcast! Great to see something that depicts khmer music, culture, people, and of course the khmer language in a manner that is creative and fun. Mixes in a litte rock n roll and punk as well as some clever editing to make this podcast engaging and entertaining. The host is funny and charismatic... Just very well done overall.
