The Corner

Burmese Days

Today’s Bookmonger podcast is with Rena Pederson, author of The Burma Spring: Aung San Suu Kyi and the New Struggle for the Soul of a Nation. We talk about the woman who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991, whether she is Burma’s equivalent of Nelson Mandela, and whether we should call her country Burma or Myanmar.

Remember, we’re now recording with Ricochet, which means these 10-minute, author-interview podcasts sound better than ever.

John J. Miller, the national correspondent for National Review and host of its Great Books podcast, is the director of the Dow Journalism Program at Hillsdale College. He is the author of A Gift of Freedom: How the John M. Olin Foundation Changed America.
