This week on The Kate Turkington Show, Kate takes us on a wild, unforgettable journey through the Himalayas — from a hair-raising mountain drive to a spiritual Aarti ceremony on the Ganges. Along the way, she and her daughter unexpectedly meet Everest legend Junko Tabei. Then, Kate chats to Johannesburg GP Dr. Praveer Sooka about his wildest moments as a cruise ship doctor — from helicopter evacuations and turtle bites to the surprising truth about love, loneliness, and health at sea.
