What we do on our show is to confront how little is known and understood about Vietnam. We look at the people, events and forces that shape Vietnam what it is today.
From important issues like migration, climate change, to Covid-19, we hope the show will help you learn something new about Vietnam, expand the conversation about it at an international level a little bit and perhaps even challenge the pre-assumptions about the country, people and culture.
We call it Vietnam and Boba because, well, first of all, it sounds pretty catchy. But really it means to tell you that we, as in the people who bring you this podcast, represent a generation of young Vietnamese who were born after the Vietnam War ended, in 1975, WAY after, and we would like to show you the Vietnam as we know it.
And also we drink a lot of bubble tea growing up, you know, bubble tea generation, lots of flavors, excitement, and surprises - like what this show should be.
