Bankok | Pindrop, a TED original podcast (Audio only)

Introducing TED's newest podcast: Pindrop, hosted by Saleem Reshamwala. Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts:

Let's say you go into labor in the back of a taxi. The traffic is so bad you don't know if you'll make it to the hospital on time. You make the obvious call to the local radio station — which serves as an emergency hotline, lost and found, and community noticeboard all at once. Now a team of motorcycle police (trained as midwives!) is on the way, weaving through the streets of this sinking city. Adaptability, connectivity, creativity in Bangkok, Thailand. (Audio only)

  1. I loved my time there and liked some of the food 😉 (there is really great and reaaaally bad) – but you need to be able to stop breathing for the time you stay there, nothing wild. There are some days where your eyes will tear from all the pollution – even if you hold your breath. And yea – don’t drive there if you like to live an other day.
