Analyse Asia
with Bernard Leong
A long-running weekly show dissecting technology, business and media across Asia, with a technical depth that most regional podcasts do not attempt.
Why an angel should listen
This is one of the longest-running technology podcasts in Asia, with a host whose background is academic and technical before it was entrepreneurial. The result is a show that goes deeper into how things actually work than the interview format usually allows.
The coverage spans the whole region rather than a single market, which makes it a good orientation for an angel who knows Asia is important and does not know where to start. It treats China, India, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia as distinct technology ecosystems, which they are.
The archive is substantial and much of it has aged well, because the episodes tend to be about structural questions rather than about the week's funding news.
Where to begin
Start with these
- Any episode covering a market you have never invested in, for orientation.
- The more technical episodes, which are the show's distinctive strength.
- Older episodes on a market you now know, to see how the structural analysis held up.
