Summary

A Sky News team has spent 12 days inside Myanmar travelling around the country to see how life has changed for ordinary citizens since the junta came to power two years ago.

On the Daily podcast, Asia correspondent Cordelia Lynch tells Leah Boleto about what the regime wanted her to see – the military parade to celebrate Independence Day - and the people they’d rather she didn’t - those who are terrified to admit that lives have been destroyed since the coup.

Annie Joyce – senior podcast producer
Simon Windsor - archive researcher
Philly Beaumont and Paul Stanworth – editors
