    The Palawan Wedding Cannibals

    The Palawan Wedding Cannibals

    In the season and podcast finale of Asia In The Shadows, I explore a slightly obscure case from the motherland, the Philippines. The case takes place in Narra, Palawan, a place that never before made any headlines up until that humid month in July 2004. 
    I do not want to give too much away but please be warned as the content of this episode can be truly triggering. The title is kinda giving it away already, so please make sure you are prepared for that.
    Listen now to the very last episode of Asia In The Shadows before it goes on an indefinite hiatus.

She was delivering chickens as per the order that was placed that same afternoon. Little did her family know, that would be the last time they’d see Duyên whose fate was sealed the moment she agreed to make that delivery.

    In 2019, Warinthorn Chaichayet suddenly disappeared and her family reported her as missing. When the police in Bangkok initially investigated her disappearance they were unsuccessful until an informant came forward, telling them about Warinthorn’s wealthy boyfriend, Apichai Ongwisit.

    The Bali Suitcase Murder

    The Bali Suitcase Murder

    Sheila von Wiese-Mack just wanted to spend some time with her daughter, Heather. So, she thought that booking a luxury vacation in Bali would help her bond with her and start a journey back to a point in their mother-daughter relationship that was less tempestuous and tense.
    The vacation was, by all accounts, looking like a success but towards the end of her stay in Bali, Sheila could not foresee that her attempt to heal her relationship with Heather would end up in a tragedy that would rock the island and the US where Heather and Sheila were from.

    The Nithari Killings

    The Nithari Killings

    When children and women first started disappearing from Nithari the parents thought the police would come to their rescue and help them find their loved ones but they were wrong. It would take a persistent father and a grisly discovery in a back drain for the police, the courts and the government to finally move and address the issues faced by so many worried parents in Nithari.
    Please be warned that this episode will contain references to not only murder but also necrophilia and cannibalism.

    The Case of Pai Hsiao-yen

    The Case of Pai Hsiao-yen

    Pai Hsiao-yen and her mother, Pai Bing Bing, lived a comfortable life owing to Pai Bing Bing’s success as a media celebrity. They were in the limelight and that was not a problem for the many years the mother and daughter had been exposed to Taiwan’s media. But then it did become a problem. In April 1997, Pai Bing Bing would come home from work, learning that her only daughter had been abducted.
    What was initially hoped as a quickly-fixed kidnapping situation eventually devolved into something so much darker that involved a manhunt that lasted for almost four months.

I love this podcast It cover quite literally all of Asia and not selected few countries. There is no judgement or an underlying tone in any of the episodes. She discusses instances and doesn’t feed into stereotypes those countries may have.
Her pronunciation is NOT cringy. If you think the world should revolve around you OR if you are a borderline racist Karen who would judge a trilingual for not have the perfect pronunciation of “t” then this podcast is NOT you.
