Insight Myanmar: Podcast Series

This three-part podcast series from Insight Myanmar explores the lived experience of displacement, return, and belonging among people shaped by Myanmar’s long political crisis. Through extended, reflective conversations, the episodes trace how exile, migration, and political rupture reshape identity, not only across borders, but across generations and inner lives.

The first episode, Between Here and Home, examines the emotional and practical tensions of living between countries, languages, and futures, capturing the ambiguity of 'home' for those unable to fully return.

Learning to Fly follows with a focus on adaptation and reinvention, exploring how individuals rebuild purpose and agency in unfamiliar settings.

The final episode, Both Sides Now, reflects on perspective and reconciliation, how time, distance, and experience complicate simple narratives of belonging, loss, and return.

Taken together, the series offers an intimate, human-centred lens on displacement connected to Myanmar, complementing broader academic and policy discussions with personal testimony and long-form reflection.

This podcast series was produced with support from the Australian National University Myanmar Research Centre and the International Development Research Centre’s Knowledge for Democracy Myanmar Initiative (K4DM Phase 2).
