Elizabeth Nguyen is from Honolulu, Hawaii, and is the daughter of Vietnamese refugees who arrived in 1975. She has a background in Human Biology and Psychiatry, which gives her a unique perspective on the cross-cultural aspects of mental health.Her career in community mental health and her interests in spirituality and psychiatry led her to write her first book, Aloha Vietnam.Elizabeth reached out to me a while ago and shared her book with me. I am a notoriously slow reader so this interview has been a long time in the making but I’m so excited to talk to share her story with you today. In this episode we discuss the gap between mental health needs in Vietnam versus the reality, and compare the perspective of mental health in Vietnam to Western outlooks in countries like the USA and UK.Need a stunning new logo for your brand?

This episode is going to be more than a little bit different. Instead of me interviewing a guest, I'll be answering questions written by chat GPT. That's right, I'll be interacting with a machine to explore the intersection of technology and human interaction? And chat GPT wrote that sentence. So, what you're about to hear was written by chat GPT, and then it's voiced by AI from Descript the program. I used to edit all my podcasts. So I'm going to hand you over to today's host., whose voice is called, Nancy.NancyI'm your host, Chat Gee Pee Tee.As an AI language model, I'm programmed to understand natural language and generate responses that mimic human speech. But how well can I really understand the complexities of Vietnam and its people? That's what we're going to find out.I'll be using GPT-3, one of the most advanced AI models available today, to generate questions based on a range of topics related to Vietnam, such as culture, history, and daily life. I have no idea what questions I will come up with, so this is going to be an exciting and unpredictable conversation.Of course, as an AI I'm not a Vietnam expert by any means. But I hope that by engaging in this AI-human dialogue, we can learn something new and thought-provoking about Vietnam and ourselves.Meet Niall Mackay the entertaining and knowledgeable host of A Vietnam Podcast.

 I am beyond excited to share this special first episode of Beer Stories hosted by my good friends Mischa Smith and Alex Violette from Pasteur Street Brewing Company and produced by me at Seven Million Bikes Podcasts.This is a combination of two major passions for me, podcasting and craft beer. I cannot thank Alex and Mischa enough for putting their trust, faith, and patience in me to get this off the ground, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it. And of course, as always, a massive, massive, massive thank you to Louis Wright for all of his support for what I do, I literally couldn't do it without. So check out the first episode of Beer Stories here on A Vietnam podcast.It's gonna be a special PodSwap and we're gonna do more of these over the coming months. There will be new episodes every week, so make sure you go on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get podcasts. This is for beer enthusiasts, not beer snobs. So if you love beer, you'll love this podcast. Enjoy the podcast.--------------------------------------------------------------------In Episode 1 of Beer Stories, Mischa talks to Alex about his craft beer journey, where it all started, Brown Ales, Walter White, favourite beer styles, his Mount Rushmore of beers, the Vietnamese Craft Beer Industry, legacies, and his decision to bring his family back to Vietnam after two years back home in the USA. We also debut our first running segment of the podcast - Fact or Fiction, where Mischa makes some statements about Alex's life, or beers in general, and he confirms or denies.
