- Maps, Marble, and the Missing Caves of Gua Musang
On day four in Gua Musang, Aisyah gets properly lost. She takes a local bus out to Kampung Pulai to find the famous Kuan Yin Temple she missed on the way in, hunts for a rumoured marble landmark on the Kuala Krai road, and ends up at a kopitiam listening to stories about the town's past — including a very recent cave rescue. Also, she finalises her plan for Chiku and Lojing, with a practical look at getting around this interior district.

About Malaysia Travel Podcast with Aisyah Rahman
From the publisher's feed
This podcast travels through Malaysia the way a resident might: staying somewhere long enough to learn its pace, then moving on along a connected route. Malaysia's distinctiveness lies in its double geography — the Malay Peninsula, where most people live, and the states on Borneo — linked by histories of maritime trade through the Strait of Malacca.
The host's range extends from the capital Kuala Lumpur south to Johor Bahru on the causeway to Singapore, then north through old tin-mining Ipoh towards the coast. It also crosses the South China Sea to Kuching in Sarawak, where the rivers and longhouses of the interior are a different world from the peninsula's hills and highlands.
As the show unfolds, it follows the turning calendar: the southwest monsoon from April to October, the northeast monsoon that brings the east coast rains from October to February. The host returns to places across that rhythm, after floods, after festivals, after crowds have gone, building up a quiet sense of how one town connects to the next.
Aisyah Rahman lives in Malaysia and stays for two years, moving between cities, coastlines and smaller towns on a route that follows the seasons. Not a week-long visit — Aisyah is there in every kind of weather, working out where to eat on an ordinary Tuesday, which train to take, what a festival actually feels like from the pavement.
A new episode arrives every day. Each one is short and specific: one neighbourhood, one journey, one meal, one museum worth the detour — with the practical detail that matters. What it costs. When it closes. Whether the queue is worth it. What to do when it rains. Every episode carries a full transcript and chapter markers.
