Human Rights Watch reposted this
Media Chief @HumanRightsWatch, Pulitzer, Ambie winner, duPont finalist, author book on China's one-Child policy, Foreign Policy's US-China Top 50
I'm excited to be launching Human Rights Watch's new podcast, Rights and Wrongs, which will take listeners on a deep dive into human rights investigations around the world from Ukraine to Bangladesh, starting May 6. The show's hosted and produced by veteran radio team Ngofeen Mputubwele (New Yorker) and Curtis Fox (Ear Hustle, Radiotopia). My last podcast adventure with Curtis led to Ambie winner & DuPont finalist The Heist (on the Trump administration's help-the-rich tax policies) and this upcoming venture will have have tons of impact too.
