News Explained Daily

Every morning I sit down and figure out what's actually happening in the world and explain it clearly, without the noise.

No outrage. No spin. No agenda. Just clarity, every single day.

what I do

The news doesn't have to
make you furious.

Every algorithm on the internet has figured out the same trick: anger travels faster than truth. So they optimise for rage, fear, and drama — and they're very good at it.

I do the opposite. Every single day I take the biggest story in the world and actually explain it. Where it came from. What's really at stake. What comes next. Honest, calm, no performance.

I've been doing this for over 15 years. Not because I have to. Because somebody should.

✦Context, not just headlines

✦Honest opinions — no drama, no performance

a little about me

My life has been anything
but planned.

🌏 Where I started I was born in Vietnam in 1975 and survived the Operation Babylift plane crash as an infant. I grew up thinking I was an orphan — raised in the United States with no idea where I really came from. I didn't even know my birthday. At 48, I finally found my family from Vietnam.

🎓 How I got here I served in the US Navy, then studied at both Brown University and the University of Pennsylvania. I've taught at Tsinghua University in Beijing, FIT in New York, and Hongdae in Seoul. Moving between cultures and trying to genuinely understand how different people see the world is exactly what made me good at explaining the news. I live in Busan, Korea now with my wife Yeji.

📺 What I do now I've worked in film, TV, and radio, and brought all of it to a daily news channel on YouTube. I produce content every single day. I also wrote a book called Positive Angle and write on Substack. The vlog with Yeji is where we share our life and adventures.

a personal note 🤍

I make this every day because I think the world needs more clarity and less noise. No team, no network, no one telling me what to cover. Just me, sitting down every morning and trying to get it right. If that work means something to you and you want to help keep it going, a cup of tea goes a long way.
