Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity, in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history.
In this episode of Viet History Makers, we delve into one of the most polarizing figures in Vietnamโs modern history: Ngรด ฤรฌnh Diแปm, the first president of the Republic of Vietnam. Often portrayed as either a staunch nationalist who sought to forge a stable, independent South Vietnam or as an authoritarian leader whose policies deepened divisions within the country, Diแปmโs legacy is anything but straightforward.
Join us as we unravel the life and death of Ngรด ฤรฌnh Diแปm, exploring the forces that shaped him, his rise to power, and the controversies that defined his presidency. From his early days as a devout Catholic in a predominantly Buddhist country to his role in the escalating tensions of the Cold War, we reflect on how his vision for Vietnam collided with both internal dissent and external pressures.
Whether you see President Ngรด ฤรฌnh Diแปm as a tragic figure, a flawed leader, or a symbol of a divided movement, this episode invites you to understand the man behind the myth, in the broader context of Vietnamโs struggle for identity and sovereignty.

In this episode of Viet History Makers, we ask, "How Does Someone Become A Revolutionary?" We turn our focus to Nguyแป n Thแป ฤแปnh, a significant figure in Vietnamโs history, whose journey from a rural village to becoming a top military leader for the Viet Congโand later a vice president of unified Vietnamโremains a subject of both admiration, debate and deep pain for others.
Join us as we carefully navigate Nguyแป n Thแป ฤแปnh's life and legacy, and reflect the deep complexities of Vietnamโs war-torn past. While she is celebrated by many as a symbol of resistance and resilience, her story is also deeply intertwined with the profound loss of those who fought to protect a different vision for Vietnam. In this episode, we explore her path to communism and the forces that shaped her, acknowledging the diverse perspectives on her contributions to Vietnamโs history.

Join host Kenneth Nguyen and series co-host Kevin Pham, author of The Architects of Dignity, in this sub-series of the podcast, exploring the key figures and moments in Vietnamese history.
In this episode of Viet History Makers, we ask, "Would Democracy Be Good for Vietnam?" We turn our focus to Phan Chu Trinh, one of Vietnam's most influential thinkers and reformers, whose vision for democracy and national modernization continues to resonate. A tireless advocate for social change, Phan Chu Trinh sought to reinterpret Vietnamโs Confucian heritage in light of democratic ideals, offering a bold blueprint for political and cultural renewal in the early 20th century.
Join us as we trace his journey from a scholar steeped in traditional values to a revolutionary voice for progress. We'll explore how he challenged colonial oppression, critiqued monarchy, and envisioned a future where democracy and Confucian principles could coexist. If youโre curious about the philosophical underpinnings of Vietnamโs modern history, the intersections of tradition and reform, or the life of a leader who dared to dream beyond his time, this episode dives deep into the legacy of a man who reshaped the intellectual landscape of his nation.

Join Dr. Thao Haโa sociology professor with a backstory of survival and resilience. In this episode of The Vietnamese podcast, Kenneth Nguyen hosts Dr. Thao Ha as they discuss the outcomes of the 2024 presidential election, exploring why โthe Dems didn't see the other side coming so strongโ and how we can bridge divides in the aftermath.
Dr. Haโs story offers her perspective on social issues and the urgent need for understanding each other. Itโs not everyday a sociology teacher can talk about street gangs from first-hand experience. When she talks about the social consequences of gangs, she can point to the scar on her arm. She was shot in a gang-related drive-by shooting as she was coming out of a billiards hall near where she lived in Houston.
Today, she is professor of sociology at MiraCosta College with a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin. Sheโs a writer, filmmaker, media consultant, and philanthropic leader who leads the Vietnamese American Arts and Letters Association (VAALA) and the Doan Foundation for the arts.
She is the founder of Collective Freedom, a North San Diego County nonprofit serving the formerly incarcerated population. Her forthcoming book, Love Letters to the Dirty South, will be released in 2026. Itโs a memoir following her journey from being in a Houston Vietnamese gang in the 1990s to reconnecting with her incarcerated first love, Vu, in 2020, and explores the broader social structures of the refugee experience, mass incarceration, and prison injustice.
