Hi Ari, thanks! Glad you like it and still find it useful a few years after we shut it down. Blogs, Instagram, Facebok, Twitter…I’m still spewing my rants on the interwebs. 🙂

This was at the end of 2011, when you had already wrapped up. It has become one of my all time favourite podcasts. When we were still in Madrid, it helped us get an idea of what we were getting into. Now that we´ve been here for a year and a half, I regularly go back and listen to some of the episodes again, and I find myself nodding and agreeing… I still really enjoy it and I am now happy that I found your blog!

Glad you liked it, and glad you saw what Tony and I were trying to do, which is show that Bangkok is so much more than sleazy nightlife and beach-bound hippies.

Amy, the music we used was written by Alec Harrison, an old friend of mine in Canada who runs http://www.RedShiftStudios.ca if you want to check it out. He's a really talented guy.

You and Tony are naturals in front of the microphone – engaging, humorous, and you keep the pace up just right. Some podcasts I just want to fall asleep with all the umms and aaahs.

I'm planning to return to Bangkok in about 7 months (fingers crossed) so you're getting me up to date since I moved back to California 6 years ago. Your audience is truly global!

BTW, what music do you use for the intro and ending? It's funky and cool – I love it!

The work you guys done makes me in love with this city again. 🙂

Just want to say thanks for the weekly entertainment I have enjoyed for the past 8 months or so since discovering Banglok Podcast.
I will without any doubt really miss listening to you guys during my drive to work on Monday mornings.
It's a shame you cannot work something out to keep the podcast going, but totally understandable.

All the best for the future guys!

Lindsay

Hamish, it was great to have you as a guest, too bad we didn't get a chance to do another one. I agree, every so often there's a great new thing, but it usually fades away after a while. I did standup comedy here for a while, which didn't last long, and I know the About Cafe you mentioned, that place was great. I also think I was in the very early days of the film night – Kaprice started that, right?

I didn't mention it above, but one wall we kept bumping into was that 90% of the people we met in Thailand had no idea what a podcast was or how to listen to one – kind of a hard sell. 🙂

I only recently discovered the Bangkok Podcast and am gradually making my way through all the episodes. Like many others, I'll be sad to see it go, but seeing how much time and effort goes into each show it's a wonder you've both kept it going as long as you have. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for all the great shows produced with the perfect mix of humour and insights that made it so enjoyable to listen to. Best of luck lads in all you do in the future.

Roy

Sorry to learn the show is going off air, but understand the reasons. I feel privileged to have been a guest and really enjoyed meeting and talking to you. In my view Bangkok Podcast was one in a long (but quite thin) line of public spirited happenings, put together by members of the expat community just because it'd be cool to do it. You remind me of the days of Bangkok Poetry at the About Cafe and Bangkok Film Night on Suk 11. Long may the line continue in the trail that you have been the latest part in blazing.

Hamish
