Madhu Acharya As ever, the death of radio is imminent. Maybe. For those of us still entranced at the magic of radio waves floating through the sky into our ears, at the accidental encounters with invisible strangers, at the uncanny power of voice, it’s encouraging to remember that radio remains full of life in the developing world. Newspapers, TV, the Internet: they depend on literacy, easy terrain, electricity, expensive receivers--all of which are obstacles in countries like Nepal, and all of which are overcome by radio. A few years ago, we at Atlantic Public Media helped Madhu Acharya create a Nepali version of our series, This I Believe. Earlier this year, I had the privilege of teaching radio in Kathmandu to station representatives from all over the country through Madhu’s organization, Antenna Foundation Nepal. Transom’s Sydney Lewis recently interviewed Madhu to put together a manifesto about his hopes and dreams for radio in his country. If you love radio, you’ll want to hear about projects like Doko (carrying transmitters in a backpack to remote villages) and the song of “The Woman Who Walked.” For a dying medium, radio is full of power.
