presenter, Author and Eurovision commentator

William lee Adams

I'm a Vietnamese-American broadcaster, writer and cultural commentator based in London.

I present radio and podcasts for the BBC World Service, including the early edition of Marketplace Morning Report, which airs in the United States. My documentary “Vietnam: Return to Banana Garden Market,” which aired on The Travel Show, won Best Arts & Entertainment (Lifestyle) Series at the 2025 Rockie Awards at the Banff World Media Festival.

I began my career as a foreign reporter at TIME’s London bureau, and my writing has appeared in publications including The New York Times, Financial Times, Bloomberg, Esquire, and Newsweek.

I’m the founder of Wiwibloggs, the world’s most-followed independent Eurovision YouTube channel, with 235M+ views. I previously won Arts & Culture Blogger of the Year at the U.K. National Blog Awards.

📖 My memoir, Wild Dances, was called “breathtaking and beautifully written” by Nigella Lawson.
