After a long hiatus, the podcast has a conversation with a journalist from the Czech Republic, Pavel Vondra, who is an old friend. He is editor at Zaminutusest podcast, and has been a journalist since 1994. Having spent nearly two decades in public service media, he is now with SeznamZpravy. He is currently in the Philippines for the 2022 elections and has written the first book in the Czech language about the Philippines. The 2022 election will be the fourth Philippine election he's observed at close-hand. We discussed how he ended up interested in, and repeatedly visiting, the Philippines, and some surprising parallels between the Czech and Philippine democratic experiences, ranging from the time it took to tire of being a newly-restored democracy (about seven years), to the political effect of populism and the decline of mass media.

Manolo Quezon is #TheExplainer Podcast
What was my show on ANC from 2006-10 and again 2016-18 is now a home-grown podcast. Back then, as now, I felt it was important to explain why issues are issues. A dive into not only the topics of the day, but topics that come back from time to time. Join me for conversations or reveries on topics of the moment, or things, trends, even places, I'd like to talk to you about.
