S2 E48: What was exciting, boring, interesting and saddening across countries, in 2023
00:18:43 | Season: 2 | Episode: 48 | December 18th, 2023

The world population touched 8 billion. India replaced China as the most populous. Artificial Intelligence made breakthroughs that promised students much relief and writers much pain. The world was wrecked by conflicts – the continuation of the Ukraine war, the cold tensions between the US and China and the Israel Palestine conflict. What do these mean to today's children? What are their views on these events? Listen to the full episode to find out more.

In March 2022, a young black gymnast in Ireland was not given a medal she deserved thanks to her skin colour. Her parents called for an apology. Nothing happened for a full year.

The year of 2023 had its bright and shiny moments in space exploration, science discoveries and tech inventions.

This is the happy story of how 41 construction workers who were stuck behind the debris of a collapsed tunnel in Himachal Pradesh got freed after a 17-day long ordeal. The army and air-force, a few massive drilling machines, a team of mountain experts and several doctors came to the rescue. But it was the valorous efforts of a few skilled miners who used the rat-hole method that helped in the final leg.

S2 E42: Kenya declares national holiday just to plant trees
00:13:58 | Season: 2 | Episode: 42 | November 27th, 2023

Ever heard of a national leader saying that one of his goals is to plant 15 billion trees. If you have not, meet Kenya's President William Ruto. To meet his immediate goal of planting 100 million trees, he declared a national holiday. In a country of 50 million people, all it takes for a person is to plant 2-4 trees to get to the goal of 100 million trees. The government of Kenya also made available seeds for all these trees, free of cost, in its nurseries. People were free to plant any other trees from seeds they had, as well. Children and adults turned out into the streets of Kenya in full vigour to participate in this national effort. Despite the rains, they had big grins plastered on their faces while planting trees.

Wildlife Series: Part 9 – Rhinos saved by foresters and a villager called Jadav Payeng who turned a barren island into a forest
00:11:26 | Season: 2 | Episode: 41 | November 24th, 2023

This is the last and final part of our Wildlife podcast series. There are two happy stories we talk about here –(A) How rhinos in eastern India have been saved from poachers by the vigilant members of the forest community, and(B) How one man single-handedly planted an entire forest with his own hands. Jadav Payeng never went to any fashionable academic institution to learn about ecology. He just felt that creating a forest was the right thing to do. Nobody told him that he was stark raving mad. Not that he may have listened to them.
