Exercise in Vietnam, Street Cred and Hanoi Zine Library

This week we begin (1:06)with a conversation about exercise in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh championed exercise as a form of patriotism, but how have views on this subject evolved in the modern age? Then (11:45), we revive Saigoneer's Street Cred series, though in audio form. Nearly every street in the country is named after a famous person or place, and we take turns sharing the stories behind the names of four streets. Our guest interview (27:44) features Yen Nguyen and Ed Weinberg of the Hanoi Zine Library. They share the background of the project, and their hopes for its future. Find them in Hanoi at Ga Phe or Heritage Space, or on Facebook at Hanoi Zine Library. As always, we end with Banh Mi Banter (45:43).
