Mouth of the Mekong: Recent Episodes
Michael Sullivan
Southeast Asia news, blog, video from a former Senior Asia Correspondent for NPR who now lives and works on the river. If it informs or intrigues, I'll pass it along. There's new sound every day and a podcast every week or so plus a (mostly) daily blog of what’s happening in the region. I've followed the Mekong from the source (Tibet) to the mouth (Vietnam). There's a lot going on. And China figures in just about all of it. I'm no photographer or videographer, but the images are all mine, from the river or the region. I'm trying to get better at both. I hope they make you curious about the place I call home. The weekly podcast is available on the blog page, Soundcloud or iTunes.

Democracy in Southeast Asia is taking a beating, especially in Thailand lately. What about the rest of the region? Well, Indonesia gets the gold. Following the fall of the dictator Suharto, many the Muslim majority nation would disintegrate...but they were wrong.
