Thank you so much for having me, Associated Collegiate Press! I love speaking with younger journalists. It reconnects me with why I am so grateful to have this job.

How MIND-BLOWING to talk to Jon M. Chu, who grew up in Los Altos, CA the same time I did. I often ate at his family's Chinese restaurant! Long before some little movie called CRAZY RICH ASIANS ever came out. Produced/edited by jonaki mehta/Courtney Dorning npr.org/2024/07/23/nx-âŠ

Thank you Liz Miller for a very moving conversation that I am still thinking about, a day after.

Do yourself a favor and go read Barb Bradley Hagerty's new book, which paints a damning portrait of the justice system. Convicting an innocent Black man in America is easy; undoing that mistake is nearly impossible. Produced/edited by jonaki mehta/Justine Kenin npr.org/2024/08/06/nx-âŠ

Great to speak with NPRâs Ailsa Chang about the political crisis in Venezuela. I reaffirmed our commitment to work with int'l partners to build an even stronger consensus in favor of democracy, and the need for dialogue between Maduro & the opposition towards a transition. -BAN

So great working with Ximena on this one! Also Noah Caldwell & William Troop. Thank you Radio Campesina for welcoming us to your studios in Phoenix.
