Author, journalist and commentator - we are delighted to have Mette Holm join us for a two part episode.
Mette has authored some 15 books including: China – from Empire to Capitalism, The Mekong River – Mother of Waters, 1990: Letters from the East Block, and, 1989: Diary from Beijing.
Mette lived, studied, travelled & worked in China and the neighbouring countries since the early 1980's. She covered countless things Asian for several major media over the years. Her expertise spans Asian politics, culture, human rights, the UN, and more.
In Part 2 of our episode with Mette Holm, we start out by diving into the impact that Putin has had on societies across the world. And then, it gets a bit more personal. Mette shares her father's story: his Thai origin, involvement in the WW2 resistance, and assimilation in Denmark. Mette ends the episode by briefly sharing the impact of a cancer diagnosis she received in 2006. There is so much depth and wisdom to this women - and a lot of joy. We hope to have her back on WNTTAT again so we can glean even more from her.
Remember you can use the chapters to jump to different topics.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
