  • Fascinating and insightful interviews and discussions that share so much about lived experience in Nepal. I am listening while on a trip in Nepal. So far I have especially enjoyed episodes on women's experiences of marriage, the many impacts of road building, and contrasting accounts of migration to and from Nepal. Thank you, Marty.
