I was on the BBC in 2025! 2025 was one of the coolest years I ever experienced, and this was one of the many reasons why. On the “What in the World” Podcast of the BBC World Service, I had a pleasant conversation with Hannah Gelbart about the fight to end bride kidnapping in Central Asia. I talked about the history of bride kidnapping in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. How did it start and spread, consensual vs non-consensual bride kidnapping, why people do it, and the “I’m sorry” feast. Thank you for having me! #bridekidnapping #centralasia #kazakhstan #kyrgyzstan #turkic
