Thank you to listener Trilok for pointing out a typo that was on the Nepal Now webpage for almost 4 years, from episode #1. I'm embarrassed but grateful to his sharp eyes.  

Please keep the feedback coming, via LinkedIn, as Trilok did, or at the other social channels listed below. You can also email: nepalnowpod(at)gmail.com, or text the show at the link at the top left. It's a US number so the usual messaging charges would apply.

I don't think we have many listeners who use Google Podcasts but if you do, that option will soon be discontinued according to reports, so you’ll need to find a new app. We’re available on most of them — Apple Podcasts, Spotify, PocketCasts, Deezer, and many more — so don’t forget to make the move.

Recent news about migration and Nepal included a poignant report in Nepali Times that quoted family members of 12 migrants who ended up fighting for the Russian Army and died on the battlefield. This reflects the desperation people must feel to earn money to keep their families afloat. 

You can hear other news items in the audio, and check out the links below.
