My mate Kerryn Vaughan is back and fresh off a soul-stirring trip to Nepal, and wow, strap in because this convo goes everywhere. From being swept off her feet by the energy of the Himalayas to raw moments of anger and conflict that cracked her heart wide open. Kerryn shares the wild beauty of community homestays, being guided by Buddhist artists, sunrise blessings from solo monks, and the kind of encounters that shift your view of the world forever. But it's not all serene mountain tops and mandalas. We dive into some deeply uncomfortable truths too... animal cruelty, religious contradictions, gender dynamics, and that messy space where reverence and rage co-exist. This is travel as it should be. Soul-expanding, perspective-challenging, emotionally unfiltered, and full of heart. You’ll laugh, you’ll feel, and you’ll probably book a flight. It’s that good.

In this deeply moving podcast episode, we break the silence on Nepal's war crimes and the widespread breaches of international law during the decade-long civil war. Our guest, a survivor of unimaginable trauma, shares her personal story of childhood before the conflict, the brutal killing of farmers, and the army's suspicions that tore her family apart. Through her powerful testimony, we uncover the false narratives that fueled suffering and human rights violations against innocent civilians. This episode also highlights the ongoing legal fight for justice by victims and the urgent need for meaningful national discussions to address these critical issues. We explore how politics has delayed justice and examine what true justice means from the perspective of those who lived through the conflict. Additionally, the conversation sheds light on the inhumane crimes committed, the role of the army in recent initiatives, and survivors' expectations from authorities to ensure accountability. Join us as we hear about the resilience required to move forward after trauma and the hopeful final message for national healing. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in Nepal's civil war, war crimes, human rights, and the relentless pursuit of justice.

Originally from Nepal, Dr. Shrestha has extensive experience in allergy, asthma and immunology. She has worked and trained at Reading Hospital in Pennsylvania, Mayo Clinic, and Vanderbilt.

In this episode, we talk about how Junko inspired a life-changing all-female expedition to Yala Peak in Nepal, the launch of the First Females Podcast (May 16th 2025), and the wider mission to highlight the stories of women who were the first from their countries to stand on the roof of the world.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports an environment conference in Kathmandu, Nepal, is discussing global climate change, including the impact on the highest Himalayan peak Everest.

In this exclusive podcast, we sit down with Dr. Shekhar Koirala, senior leader of the Nepali Congress, to discuss the deep-rooted dynamics of Nepal's political history. From his political childhood growing up in the influential Koirala family to his reflections on the legacy of BP Koirala and Girija Prasad Koirala, this conversation offers rare insights into the core of Nepali politics. Dr. Koirala opens up about BP Koirala's legacy, leadership ethics, and the controversial story behind the BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences. He shares inside stories about Girija Prasad Koirala's secret negotiations with the Maoists, and how those talks shaped Nepal's transition into a republic. We also dive deep into Nepal's current challenges, including federalism and secularism in Nepal, the rise of monarchy vs republic sentiments, and the influence of foreign pressure—particularly from India—on our political decisions.

This week we're taking a break from the evolving civic situation in the U.S. to shine light on global stories in education that you may have missed.Nepal's National Teachers' Strike Lifted: Teachers and Students in Nepal are resuming classes more than a month after teachers began demonstrating across the country in protests that included clashes with police over issues of teacher pay, sick leave, grading systems, and other issues. Negotiators had faced setbacks after several rounds of contentious negotiations with the country's teacher unions. Educators have been turning up the pressure on the Nepalese government to enact legislation directed by the country's 2015 Constitution that transfers control of the nation's schools to regional and local authorities.“AI tools are going to do to students' critical thinking skills what social media has done to their attentive skills.”AI in Global Classrooms: National Experiments in China and Estonia: Prompted by emerging policy statements on AI use in U.S. classrooms, we take a look at how other countries are faring as the pressure to adopt AI tools and lessons increases with the ubiquity of AI products. In China, AI in schools is almost old news; we'll take a look at their aggressive stance on implementing the technology and compare it to that of Estonia, which has recently announced a partnership with OpenAI for the use of a custom version of ChatGPT for education within its public secondary schools.Ashlie Crosson Named National Teacher of the Year: The Council of Chief State School Officers has announced the 2025 recipient of the National Teacher of the Year award. This year's winner is Ashlie Crosson, an English teacher and media & journalism advisor at Mifflin County High School in Pennsylvania. Congrats, Ashlie!Discussion QuestionsHigh stakes make schools a precarious place to “move fast and break things,” but there are sometimes costs to falling behind. What is the appropriate pace of educational change?When we worry about being “left behind” in the race to adopt artificial intelligence tools in our schools, have we considered the net impact of AI, or are we focused on individual benefits and risks? As we adopt more AI tools, do we risk learning becoming “artificial”?What does it mean to “personalize” the educational experience?For a full list of episode sources and resources, visit our website and click on Archives.

If I told you about a 30-year study that has already resulted in 261 research publications, you'd be impressed right?And if I added that the study is based in Chitwan, and co-led by a Nepali, Prof. Dirgha Ghimire? I think you'd be even more enthusiastic. At least I was when I learned about the Chitwan Valley Family Study just a month ago. I'm not sure how I missed it over the past two decades that I've lived here but I'm a firm believer in the adage ‘better late than never'.

This week, we're honored to welcome Olga Bak, friend and advisor to Travel Nepal Himalaya's Treks, the local guide company that helped our group navigate the challenging journey to Mount Everest base camp. Developing an early connection with Nepal during her first trek in 2013, Olga's spontaneous "yes" to adventure evolved into something deeper—a calling to build bridges between travelers and this extraordinary Himalayan nation.Olga takes us on a journey through her transformation from first-time trekker to passionate advocate for Nepal. She describes that pivotal moment when she climbed a 4,000-meter peak at 3 AM to witness the sunrise, feeling surrounded by stars so close "it really did feel like we could just reach and grab them like apples from trees." That initial experience sparked what would become a lifelong mission to help others understand Nepal not just as a destination for mountain views, but as a place of profound spiritual and personal transformation.In this episode, we explore the meaning behind "Nepal: Never Ending Peace And Love," the unique character of the Himalayan landscape, and how Olga's relationship with guide Badri has created opportunities to support local communities. Join us for a deep and moving conversation about finding purpose through saying yes to adventure, embracing discomfort as a path to growth, and what it truly means to experience the transformative power of the mountains.

Beyond Borders: A Spiritual Journey Home. The Odiyana Project on YouTube. www.Tibetanaidfoundation.orgAfter a worldwide quest for meaning following personal tragedy, a couple returns to America with newfound perspective. Having traveled through India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, they share profound insights about appreciating American freedom while reflecting on global inequality, spiritual growth, and their humanitarian work establishing an orphanage abroad. This thought-provoking conversation explores what truly matters in life beyond material comfort. A significant portion of the conversation centers on their humanitarian work, specifically the establishment of an orphanage in India through their foundation, the Tibetan Aid Foundation. The project provides shelter, food, education, and hope to children who previously had no future, including a 12-year-old boy they adopted whose parents had been forced to sell him due to extreme poverty. The podcast highlights themes of gratitude, perspective, the search for meaning, and finding joy in helping others despite personal tragedy. It serves as a reminder to focus on what we have rather than what we lack, especially when comparing the different types of struggles faced by people in wealthy versus developing nations.Key Points:The couple's spiritual journey was prompted by the loss of their son and feelings of emptiness despite material comfort in AmericaThey visited India, Nepal, Tibet, and China, meeting spiritual teachers including the Dalai LamaThey gained perspective on American abundance compared to the basic survival struggles in developing countriesThey established an orphanage in India that provides children with basic necessities and hope for the futureThe conversation emphasizes gratitude and focusing on what we have rather than what we lack

Our worst fears have come true; Monday is here and Dr. Johnny Lupinacci is nowhere to be found. Some say he's in Nepal climbing Mount Everest. Others speculate he may be deep undercover behind the Iron Curtain. Or, perhaps, he has a meeting. Regardless, Dr. Tim Slekar and Non-Dr. Jakob are here to discuss pressing issues in education. The government is trying to cut funding for PBS, leaving Bert and Ernie facing a fiscal crisis, and Indiana is turning down free money meant for feeding hungry kids (or as the President may misunderstand it, "Feeding Hungary kids".) Tune in for an in-depth discussion of Monday's biggest headlines in education. On another note, Producer Jakob would like to apologize for implying that enjoying NASCAR is in anyway linked to being closed-minded. Jakob would never, NEVER, want to denigrate NASCAR fans.* BustED Pencils: Fully Leaded Education Talk is part of Civic Media. Subscribe to the podcast to be sure not to miss out on a single episode!

In this eye-opening podcast, we dive deep into the harrowing journey of a Nepali migrant who chose to move illegally to America in search of better opportunities. From the initial dream of a brighter future to the heartbreaking reality of being deceived by middlemen, this story reveals the hidden commissions and monetary demands that trap many innocent people. Follow his perilous route through Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and finally to the US-Mexico border in Tijuana, where encounters with the mafia and dangerous situations test his resilience. Along the way, he faces near capture, tears his passport in Colombia to move forward, and endures the harsh conditions of a refugee camp in San Diego, California. Despite positive experiences in the camp, his struggle continues as he battles legal challenges, including deportation by three levels of court in America. Returning to Kathmandu, he confronts the heavy burden of repaying loans and coping with mental health issues. This powerful narrative shed light on the risks Nepali migrants face when pursuing the American dream illegally, exposing the dark networks that profit from their desperation. Watch to understand the true cost of illegal migration and the courage it takes to survive.

To get to school, work, or another town in Nepal, it helps if you don't have a fear of heights. That's because this mountainous terrain (it's home to Mount Everest after all) is connected via THOUSANDS of bridges. Whether permanent or seasonal, made of bamboo and rope or pulleys and wire, suspended above incredible mountains or rapid waters, the Nepalese have networked their country through amazing, unique, and exhilarating engineering. Find out how building and re-building bridges became a part of the nation's culture, and how trusting that a treacherous trip is worth the risk shapes the way the Nepalese perceive connection, community, and what in life we ought to hold onto.
