This is an absolute gem of a podcast for current and detailed information about Timor Leste. It is difficult to find reliable and up to date info particularly for planning travel in TL and Jonty has done an incredible job at collating and presenting a wealth of information, and overlaying it with his own experiences. Highly recommended for anyone travelling to TL or generally interested in TL.
