Writers Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong have both spent time under house arrest in China because of their work on Tibet. The husband and wife team's book 'Voices from Tibet' has just been translated into English. We'll talk with translator Violet Law.

Then, a conversation with Laura Pitter at Human Rights Watch about the global context of NSA surveillance practices, and a look at the work of a Chicagoland native who is spreading awareness about sex education in Kenya.
