I learn so much every week about Central Asia and I look forward to listening to new episodes. The host and guests offer insightful, informed and engaged perspectives on all matters involving Central Asian society.

I wait each week for the newest podcast. Topics are fresh and timely. Guests are outstanding. I often follow up episodes by obtaining books and articles from discussants.

👍

Great insightful discussions, audio quality could be improved though. Great podcast!

This is a niche podcast focusing on Central Asia. The discussions are generally valuable for those who follow the region. So I’d give it four stars for that. But I’m giving it two stars instead because it has the same old guests too often and the production quality is low. Audio is often choppy and presentation is just weak. The irony is that this is produced by a US government funded radio outlet. I would have expected them to be good at the audio part at least.

Good format, insightful guests and interesting discussion.
