Three Cups of Tea }
{ Podcast Episode 0000032
This week we speak with Greg Mortenson, an American on a mission, fighting terrorism one school at a time.
The former mountaineer heads up the Central Asia Institute, which has built more than 50 secular schools for girls and boys in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Mortenson’s passion-some might say obsession-to bring education to the children of these countries started when residents of a small Pakistani village nursed him back to health after a failed attempt to climb K2, perhaps the world’s toughest mountain. Mortenson discusses his efforts, and his book “Three Cups of Tea”. Visit www.ThreeCupsofTea.com
Episode 32 also features the Universe’s favorite segment, “What Does a Genius Eat for Lunch.” and we help Terry cull-down his CD collection.
Tiger Beat teen sensation Luke was cut from this show, and will not return until he obtains his work permit. The audio from Luke’s interview can be found in the Bionic Genius Roundtable AV Closet.
Finally! Pictures of Luke released:
