We’re kicking off our fall 2022 season with a special conversation between Emily Feng of NPR and Joanna Chiu, NüVoices chair and co-founder.
In this episode, Emily walks us through her hard-hitting reporting from the frontlines in Ukraine, her groundbreaking investigations in Xinjiang, to a viral controversy surrounding her radio report on 螺螄粉 luósīfěn / snail noodles.
Emily also discusses the beginning of her journalism career in China—from freelancing, landing a job at the Financial Times, and eventually becoming NPR’s Beijing correspondent in 2019, where she is still based today.
We also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Emily reported her Rough Translation episode on 丧文化 / the sang subculture, which took the Chinese internet by storm last year. (Check out your podcast feed where we crossposted this episode on August 24th, 2022. A special thank you to NPR and Rough Translation for collaborating with us.)
