Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #46.  So concludes the political series, well, kind of.  We welcome yet another guest, because who doesn’t know more about this than Delilah?  Michael Golding drops by to give his two cents about Cambodian politics and gives a pretty comprehensive overview of what’s going on…. So you’ll hear why the 2008 elections don’t really matter, what was so important about the 1998 elections and a few tips and techniques for intimidating voters.

Women of ’72 sung by Sen Sisamuth opens and closes the show.  I think I’ve played this one before, but it does give me a lot of joy, and I thought I’d share.

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #45.  Delilah Marie continues on with election madness.  She rustles up a Cambodian guest to give his two cents about the campaign and the upcoming elections.  So you get to hear a bit more about this topic, from why he’s not going to vote, but then of course expands to include corruption, the under the table funds and the inevitable land issues.  And you thought it was only me that loves to talk about land.

For your listening pleasure, you again get Preap Sovath singing his heart out.  And you even get a little bit of the, shall we say, horn solo, zipped on at the end.  Because I care. 

Tasty Dog in the Kingdom: This Cambodian Life #44.  Delilah teases with just a bit of her personal life…a very simple chronology of how, and why, she got to Cambodia, then since ‘tis the season, she gives but a brief overview – really, very brief – of Cambodian politics from 1993 to the current day, including a light dusting of parties, people and how to say election in Khmer.  You’ll also hear why you still need your earplugs and who is giving out sarongs and hats and money?

The opening music is Sen Sisamuth.  You missed him, didn’t you?  The title is something like aht nii jah pgoo loan, which means something like missing the thunder.  Magic.
