The 90 Minutes with Ye Aung Thu series consists of three episodes. In these conversations, he reflects on his journey from an amateur photographer to a professional, highlighting the often-overlooked importance of discipline, preparation, and safety when working on the frontline. He also shares powerful personal stories, including secretly documenting military officers mismanaging relief supplies for Cyclone Nargis survivors, being confronted by a vendor at a chicken market in Yangon, and the risks of taking photographs in sensitive context like Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series was warmly received by fans of his photography and by fellow podcasters who gained rare insight into the life and challenges of a Myanmar photographer. The show continues to grow its listener base and generate active audience engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
