Hello and welcome to my newsletter!
Another season 2 instalment…
Thing’s are extremely hectic where I am. I’m not going to have time to put the newsletter together properly this week. I’m not even sure where I’ll be by tomorrow, so I’m just going to put together what blog posts and podcasts I have and schedule the issue for tomorrow while I still can. It’s Friday morning as I write this.
Here are the blog posts I wrote. Quite a few this week:
Starmer first podcasting prime minister?https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2025/01/04/starmer-first-podcasting-prime-minister
Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the importance of digital communication https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2025/01/06/volodymyr-zelenskyy-in-the-importance-of-digital-communication

Last minute addition: Captivity Notes: Fri 10th Jan 2025 https://markjgsmith.com/blog/2025/01/10/captivity-notes-fri-10th-jan-2025
The last one there goes into some detail about what’s happened to me in the past 24 hours. I’m currently sitting writing this in a small local police station in HCMC near Le Van Tam park. It’s very confusing, I really don’t know what’s going to happen to me.
I’ve been stuck in Vietnam since COVID, I ran out of money during the lockdown which went on for months and months, and therefore have been outside for 4 years now, that was the start of season 2. It’s been horrendous. So that’s where this weeks issue title comes from. Maybe season 2 will finally end. But right now it’s really not clear what’s going to happen, will I finally be set free or will they trap me even more?
I just want somebody else to know, please read if you enjoy these newsletter issues I’ve been preparing for years at this stage. Any ideas gladly received. I don’t know what else to do.
