The newest Saigoneer Podcast episode is available now!
On this week's episode we begin (1:17) by sharing our nominations for Vietnam's five "National Senses," if such a thing existed. What smells, sounds, sights, tastes and textures do we think best exemplify the country? The smell of pork chops grilling on a sidewalk? The Bitexco Financial Tower? Those fragrant wet wipes given out at bia hơi joints?
Then (17:36), we do an audio version of our occasional Street Cred series, which dives into the history of the people that Saigon's streets are named after. This time, however, it's a bit more personal, as we explore either the streets we live on, or those near our houses. One of these streets is Quoc Huong, named — we believe — after the famous singer. You can check out some of his music here.
As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (31:04).
