Tongues of Heaven (KP19)
We talk to filmmaker Anita Chang about her film Tongues of Heaven, which explores the stories of four young women in Taiwan and Hawaii in search of their native languages, which are facing extinction.
Upside Down Idealism (KP18)
Because Taiwan’s society is so pragmatic, it sometimes worry so much on what is available, and forget to see what is possible. And in a time like this when there isn’t much more available, Mr. Candle reminds us to focus instead on what is possible.
Westerner in Taiwan (KP17)
We ask blogger Ben Goren, the author of the blog Letters from Taiwan, about what it is like being a Westerner living in Taiwan, and just how he got into the fray of Taiwan’s controversial political scene. We also talk shop about politics, just a little bit.

35 years after the Taiwan Relations Act, how has the relationship between the US and Taiwan evolved? We talk to Coen Blaauw and Gerrit van der Wees from the Formosan Association for Public Affairs (FAPA) to find out.
Taiwanese, Yet American (KP15)
We talk with HoChie Tsai about the Taiwanese American communities, whether Taiwanese Americans should, or have a right to, be involved in affairs in Taiwan, and about what the third and even fourth generation might be facing in the future.
