Same Cool Hosts, Cool New Season [Season 4, Episode 1]

Same Cool Hosts, Cool New Season [Season 4, Episode 1]

Greg and Ed discuss the absolutely EPIC beginning of season 4 of the Bangkok Podcast. Why start a new season? Well, it turns out that seasons 1 and 2 were in the 70ish episode range and 80 seemed a good round number. Plus, the guys were just ready for some changes!

But first - a book giveaway! Listen in to learn how you can win a copy of Working in Thailand by our buddy Karsten, who co-authored.

So, what are all these changes about, you ask? First, more content for our Patrons, especially photo and video content, including interviews with people like Taopiphop, a member of Thai Parliament.

Second, a cool new segment called 'Token Thai,' where a real live Thai person will talk to Greg and Ed about cross cultural issues, including questions that Thai people have about westerners.

Third, a 'resources' section of the Bangkok Podcast web page that includes posts of useful information that our fans can easily access, such as basic Thai language, Thai culture, and the Bangkok transit system.

Listen in to hear about a few more small changes coming up in Season 4. Let's get this train rollin'!

As always, the podcast will continue to be 100% funded by listeners just like you who get some special swag from us. And we'll keep our Facebook, Twitter, and LINE accounts active so you can send us comments, questions, or whatever you want to share.
