Hello everyone, I've had a few messages lately about when the next episode is coming out (which honestly still kind of amazes me that the audience has grown to a point where that comes up semi-regularly!) so I thought I'd check in here and get some stuff out.
First of all, episode seven (not including the interviews) should be out by the end of this month. I work weekdays but every now and again I have a day off so I can work on the script, and there will be enough weekends coming up to be able to record. Saturday the 30th, or December 1st I'd say. The script is coming along nicely I'm just writing the section on rural Cambodian life based on May Ebihara's PHD. There will be no singing in this one, but we will be establishing key 'Cambodian' issues (the warm/moist air of the hurricane) from the start of the French Protectorate up until the beginnings of WWII. So, French Protectorate, Rural Cambodian life and the beginnings of Nationalism. I'm excited about this one I think it is going to be a belter. Now, while I was sat procrastinating... I also figured I'd quickly sketch out what the future of the show might look like... 'Phase two and three' or whatever Marvel does. Here is a very rough idea of when and what to expect going forward: •E7 – French Indochina until 1939 (nov 19) •E8 – the long beginnings of the cold war, the state of the world into and after 1945. (Feb 20) •E9 – independence movements in Vietnam and Cambodia. (April 20) •E10 – The Vietnam War and the rise of the Khmer Rouge. (July 20) •E11 – The Cambodian Civil War. (September 20) •E12 – Year Zero (December 20) •E13 – 1975-1976, goals, constitutions, wiping the slate clean. •E14 – The Killing Fields •E15 – The security state, S-21 and the network of prisons •E16 – Enemies •E17 – Eating your own Children •E18 – The state crumbles •E19 – Aftermath •E20 – Realpolitik, Reconciliation and elusive justice. So, I dunno. 2021? Jesus. Well let's hope. Also, a reminder that you can follow the show on Twitter (please do I've got so few people on there its embarrassing) https://twitter.com/KhmerUtopia
