PATREON EXCLUSIVE. This is an interview with Haldi Patra, a history Master's student, writer, podcaster, and Orang Minang. This is supplementary to episode 07, the Minangkabau Matrilineal Society. I would recommend listening to the episode first as we reference many of the terms I explained there like suku and pai merantau. This bonus episode is gonna be a lot more candid than the usual upload. You'll get to hear what Haldi thinks of the myth about Alexander the Great and rendang, a classic Minang dish. Hope you like it!
