Project Curiosity- burmese podcast

I've been disappearing from this Podcast platform for a while now and now I'm back.
And I'm back with an unusual topic, something that I'd never consider broadcasting- political situations.

On the morning of 1 February 2021, the Tatmadaw—Myanmar's military deposed democratically elected members of Myanmar's ruling party, NLD and staged the coup. From the nights that followed, residents across the country show the dissent by banging pots and honking car horns.
Day-7 in and the pot-banging gets louder. Protesters get more united than ever, and People's spirit- indestructible.

Anyone with a functioning brain and sensible heart is against this military coup.

I'm neither a politician nor know much about politics.
I'm just a normal working-class citizen who wishes to collect and share people's emotions via the platform I have access to.

In this episode, I gather and invite audio files/ recordings of a simple question- "Why are you against this Military coup?" from people of Myanmar. Hope I can come up with the full episode with people of different generations/backgrounds.

စစ်အာဏာရှင်စနစ်ကျဆုံးပါစေ!

In episode 4, I conversed with Ko Swan, from whom I inspired "Ask and you shall receive"-the drive and courage to keep exploring and pushing the boundaries. We are quite close- we used to work together, travel places, talk to people and explore new possibilities outside and within. He was my #1 guest list of this podcast yet, in first attempt, we ended up talking over life than actually recording this. So, we tried again! This time, not face to face yet we cover pretty much everything we want to. We talked about: -His phases of life- the journey itself, his reflections on his transition from being a doctor-turns-entrepreneur, which is an inspiration to many to someone who seeks for something deeper, within. -How Ego-driven society is driving competition, dissatisfaction, materialism and how we could find fulfilment in this. -His views on "values"- both on personal and organisational level and what he looks forward to now with the changes of personality and values. -How he embraced failure- how it has changed his perceptive on Ego. His self-care practices and his thoughts/tips for those who are in that similar phase of life.  And finally, I curious over his definition of freedom and what and who he seeks for to explore new phases of his life. About Project Curiosity: This is NOT a podcast that is very narrowly tailored to a specific theme like (Career or Tech or Ideology). If you are looking for one alike, then I fear my project may not meet your expectations. Instead, my plan is to provide long-form interviews or consolidation of short ones to raise and converse about a wide variety of subjects that interest me: from career, lifestyle, to wellbeing and spirituality and every thought and human being in between. Most importantly, my desire is to create a platform that provokes curiosity to help lead the way to unlock the best version of yourself. I hope you enjoy this first episode. Many more to come! Thanks for listening and look forward to your feedback/ thoughts! Also, Feel free to share.

About Ep- 003: In episode 3 of Project Curiosity-Burmese Podcast, I try something different- Mental Health. I converse with a good friend, an educator and counsellor- Ma Ju @ Ma Kyu Laie Thu with whom I can't stop sharing my feelings and stories. She is someone who could make anyone comfortable presenting their true-selves,   We conversed about: -Her journey from a language teacher to becoming an Educator/ Counsellor. -Mental Health, the importance of it, indicators of mental illness. -Stigmas and Coping mechanisms anyone can try. -Workplace Wellbeing and the role of communication in keeping the workplace positive, productive and professional. -Common communication gaps within families and how to close them.

About Ep- 002:
In episode 2 of Project Curiosity-Burmese Podcast, I converse with my childhood's inspiration, now a good friend-a doctor, a former TV personality, a director and an author- Ko Naythar. I explored what he's learnt throughout different careers, fear and motivation behind them, how he handles fame and popularity while keep dreaming BIG and building his personal brand around sincerity.

In my second attempt doing a podcast, I invite Ko Naythar, who I find inspirational and interesting at the same time- who's living his life to the fullest, breaking stereotypes, withstanding the Ups and Downs while staying true and sincere to himself and people around him.

Things seem to get easier for me recording-editing yet I am still trying to figure out what's what in audio-recording-world, so it’s still FAR from studio polished!  The sound quality from this episode is admittedly poor overall (hope a bit more stable than the Ep-001) echo-y with some background NOISEs, my apologies!

About Ep: 001 (Part-1): In the Part-1 of the debut episode of the Project Curiosity-Burmese Podcast, Win converses with his colleague, Ma Phyu Mon Theint, Head of Design at Yoma Bank, and a wonderful mom (on Mother's Day!) about what is Design to her, how she found her career in it, current industry-landscape of Design in Myanmar, how her mentors helped guide her career and how she does the same now. Her charisma, honesty and transparency create a unique culture and vibe in her team of creative people and that's remarkable!   About Project Curiosity: Finally! I’ve been talking, over-thinking about doing a podcast for what seems like ages.  For whatever reason, I just couldn’t seem to get around to actually figuring out how to do it, let alone get it done.  But finally, with Covid-19, I finally found the time to sort through at least the initial barrier configuration issues and am happy to announce my first (MVP-version) episode, which features a good colleague of mine, Ma Phyu Mon. I am still trying to figure out what's what in audio-recording-world, so it’s far from studio polished!   The sound quality from this episode is admittedly poor overall- a bit unstable and echo-y. I have yet to configure devices and software. But rather than wait until I had everything perfect, I wanted to just give it a go.  I’m way too far from a professional podcaster/broadcaster, but I hope that through this effort I can bring some insights and interesting people to your ears that will both enlighten, provoke and entertain. What Project Curiosity is not: First off – this is NOT a podcast that is very narrowly tailored to a specific theme like (Career or Tech or Ideology). If you are looking for one alike, then I fear my project may not meet your expectations.  Instead, my plan is to provide long-form interviews or consolidation of short ones to raise and converse about a wide variety of subjects that interest me: from career, lifestyle, to wellbeing and spirituality and every thought and human being in between.
