	Description:		COVID-19 arrived in Nepal at the end of January, 2000, but it was really only in May when it hit, as tens of thousands of migrant workers started arriving home from neighbouring India. As in many other countries, rich and poor, the pandemic has accentuated Nepal’s fault lines, including its health system, inequality and poor governance. And just as in other countries, the time seems ripe to question the direction that Nepal was taking. That’s where this podcast comes in — to ask, Can things be done differently to build a better Nepal? We’ll examine issues like migration and employment, agriculture, discrimination, and the environment through the eyes of people who see differently than those who have dominated debates, and power, in Nepal for decades. Many of our guests will be younger people who are living and working in unique ways. Together we will attempt to identify concrete steps to moving forward and achieving a better country. Hosted by Marty Logan. Special thanks to Nikunja Nepal.
