Bonus Content: Interview with a Journalism Student

Aye Mon, a journalism student at New York University, interviewed the founder of Insight Myanmar Podcast about the evolution and mission of the platform.

Starting in 2019, the podcast initially focused on spiritual topics related to Burmese Buddhist meditation, but after the 2021 Myanmar coup, it shifted to address broader socio-political issues, reflecting the belief that it was unethical to ignore the national turmoil. The platform aimed to capture voices authentically, allowing raw stories to be heard without interference. Aye Mon also discusses the unique power of audio—its emotional depth, versatility, and the use of ambient sounds to evoke Myanmar’s atmosphere. She inquires about the podcast’s approach to guest selection, emphasizing trust and comfort, especially for sensitive topics. Aye Mon suggests that the podcast’s commitment to honest storytelling makes it a vital tool for both awareness and connection in these challenging times.
