[peel] Aung San Suu Kyi - fan of DLT... Who knew?

[Paul Webster]

Sorry to bring in a bit of seriousness here - but she wasn't a one station lady .... she also listened to RFA (Radio
Free Asia) - based in Washington DC and funded by US government.
She has done a short thank-you video message for them - it is on their 15th Anniversary site http://www.rfa15.org/
and while it was interesting to read of BBC sneaking in a film crew and doing a live hook-up for the audience of the
recording of the Reith Lectures .. here is what RFA say that they have been doing since 2010 ...

"The Burmese Service began offering its listeners the opportunity to engage freed political prisoner Aung San Suu Kyi on
a weekly basis. The radio forum, the first of its kind to feature the Nobel laureate and democracy icon, allows
listeners to ask her questions on any subject of their choice from sanctions to democratic reform."

Their broadcasts started on 26th November. While it is not a phone-in ... it did have questions sent in by email or
phone which she answered.
