Outstanding

I personally place a very high value on the ability to explain something complex in a way that makes it accessible and understandable. I believe that almost any complex subject, given the right talented individual, can be explained in a way that opens it up and makes it accessible to other people. This involves not just explaining or telling information, but painting mental pictures. For history in particular, it includes helping someone to imagine a scenario in real life and to unlock an understanding of that event as a believable real-world happening, not just a constellation of cold facts, through that imagining. (For me, that also means a passion for nitty-gritty contextual details, and using them to bring events to life and ground them in the actual world.) And it includes the use of great examples and great metaphors to unfold and illuminate. Lachlan Peters is a master at all of this, and pushes all of the right buttons. It is these talents, combined with his obvious, palpable passion for the topic itself, that makes his podcast so effective in unlocking this topic so deftly, and so compelling to listen to. (Also, the theme music is awesome and enhances the production.)
What an absolute treasure. I rejoice at the existence of this podcast, and my fortune in having discovered it. I can barely wait for more episodes.

I must say that the deep historical story of the region and the people gave much more insight to the whole story than I would have thought. compared to the gulag archipelago (about Russia) this series gave a lot more history and a lot less detailed description of the horrors although there was plenty of that.
The complete context the Khmer Rouge
