Let's talk about Derek Kong, Private Detective from @moonedrama . Derek Kong, Private Detective is a Noir homage fiction podcast set in Malaysia. Derek is just a private dick, trying to get by when he's hired by a waitress--with a suspiciously deep pocket--to track down a missing man. He's one of the cyclists who frequents the shop. But where is he? How did the waitress get so much cash? What I really love about this show is not just tongue-in-cheek nods to noir tropes--narration by the story's protagonist, a beautiful client, etc. it also adds a unique Malaysian flavor, from the way they take their coffee, local language peppered in, cultural slice of life stuff. It's fabulous. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, how many shows are we missing by just not speaking the language. 🥺 Not that I'm at a loss for shows, I just enjoy learning about new places, and stories with fresh perspectives! Just 2, 30ish minute episodes so far with Derek's first case, but recently talked to the creator on Reddit, and they're currently working on getting sponsorship--some advertisers think it might be too niche! So if you listen, and like the show, give it a shout, rate and review! Tell them there's *always* room for noir, and fresh perspectives! So, if you like Noir-style detective stories and want to encourage more English language audiodrama from stereotypically non-english language locales, then Derek Kong, Private Detective is for you! #podcastsunday #fiction #oldtimeradio #derekkong #derekkongprivatedetective #moonedrama #audiodramasunday #trypod #podcasts #podcast #podcastrecommendation #podcastrecommendations #mysterypodcast #mystery #noir #noirfiction #detective #detectivemystery #malaysia #malaysiapodcast #malaysianfiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CpRq14euU-u/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
