Great Escapes

Available for over a year

We hear from David Rohde, an American journalist and former captive of the Taliban, who is calling for a halt to US 'signature' drone strikes. We examine the blurry line between vague and actionable government intelligence information. Also, we tour the University of Texas at El Paso, a campus that looks just like the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. The journalist Jonathan Katz tells us how not to report on an earthquake. And, we visit a small town in El Salvador where migrants to the US are hotly debated folk heroes. Plus, a top-selling indigenous artist from Australia does not give interviews, but still wows audiences with his voice.
