Young Nepalis are shifting to podcasts from TVs. Now, it’s challenging to sustain the shows

Growing up in Damak, 19-year-old Ramesh Sharma was always glued to the TV. He loved the content that was on offer as he spent his time watching cartoons, Indian sitcoms and call-in shows. But, as he got older, his preference changed as did his interest, but the content on the TV did not.

By the time he was 16, he gave up watching TV and would often spend time listening to a podcast called the Joe Rogan Experience on YouTube . There, he learnt a lot. From how to establish a business to spirituality, the podcast helped him be aware of what was happening in the world and where he fits in it.
