I am a bit late on noticing this broadcast from NPR, but I think that it is an interesting one. It helps to explain the strange position that Chinese and Chinese Americans are forced to live in with relation to the culture and country of their heritage and the United States. Living a sort of life between cultures, in some ways similar to my life over here.
It is an interview with a Chinese activist who has left China due to persecution and a Chinese American who partook in the Olympic Torch Relay in SF. This is talking mostly about the lead up to the Olympics, but encompasses a number of topics that are important to Chinese, Chinese-Americans, and all Americans.

I love the content on NPR - but even more I love the soothing voices even more (this story was great for both).
It reminds me of this this SNL skit on The Delicious Dish: http://www.hulu.com/watch/4156/saturday-night-live-nprs-delicious-dish-schweddy-balls
hahaha,
that is so true, I think of the same thing, even though I am not exactly sure where Sasha would fall on the "Soothing voice scale." Probably somewhere between "stereotype" and "grating." So many of those hosts must be put on their purely for voice appeal though.
