American Identities

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

We meet Tanzila 'Taz' Ahmed and Zahra Noorbakhsh, the creative minds behind a new podcast called #GoodMuslimBadMuslim. And, we get Hollywood’s take on Asian-American leading men. Plus, the identity gap between African-Americans and African immigrants in the US. Also, California's gardens tell an immigrant story. The celebrated Mexican author Cristina Rivera Garza says languages are not strait-jackets, but tools to start a bilingual conversation. And we bid farewell to the late-night host David Letterman with a sitar player. (Photo: Zahra Noorbakhsh (left) and Tanzila "Taz" Ahmed host the new podcast #GoodMuslimBadMuslim.
