CHANGEMAKERS -

Welcome to CHANGEMAKERS with Catriona Oliphant, a new podcast series brought to you by CHROMERADIO in association with the MONTHLY BAROMETER. CHANGEMAKERS was inspired by a series of conversations I had this autumn at the MONTHLY BAROMETER’s SUMMIT OF MINDS in Chamonix. What struck me was how many people were involved in exciting ventures for bringing about positive change in different aspects of our lives – in our relationship with the environment, with our fellow human beings, and in our quality of life. CHANGEMAKERS bringing rays of hope to these dark times. In this series, they tell us about their vision, their journey and the challenges along the way. MUSIC | Power of Nature by Jonathan Slatter (PRS), Sounds Visual Music Ltd (www.soundsvisual.com/) PRODUCTION | Producer/Presenter - Catriona Oliphant for ChromeRadio | Post-production - Catriona Oliphant & Chris Sharp.

For the past 40 years, most of the accounts of the Gurkhas' role in that conflict have been in English. In GURKHA VOICES FROM THE FALKLANDS, we hear from Gurkha veterans in their own language, Nepali.
