Review of Kathmandu


Sujata Tuladhar's tale of becoming a DJ in Kathmandu is an interesting story of cultural conflict and experience, but ultimately left me scratching my head a little bit. On the one hand, yes this is an interesting story and would fit on any show that values pieces about cultural exchange or personal transformation, all done in a very specific NPR style.

But on the other hand, she was hosting an American country and western show in Kathmandu. To me, a story about why country music resonates in Nepal is a fascinating question that's never answered in this piece. it left me scratching my head thinking, what about that?

Well, regardless, Kathmandu is a nice piece.
