Jian is away this week. Guest host Piya Chattopadhyay is filling in. Please note that all schedules are subject to last-minute changes. Check back for updates.  

  • Piya talks to New York Times tech writer, Farhad Manjoo who believes that the Heartbleed bug is a warning that the personal information we store on phones, iPads and computers is increasingly at risk because the tech world lacks a "safety culture" and users don't want to be inconvenienced. 
  • Piya talks to novelist Helen Wan, whose novel The Partner Track, has generated a real-life discussion about "the bamboo ceiling" faced by Asian-Americans in corporate culture. A lawyer herself, Wan is writing from what she's observed and her depiction is resonating with many readers. 
  • Philadelphia band The War on Drugs have drawn huge attention for their new album, Lost in the Dream, which provides a smeared, hazy take on 80s anthemic rock titans like Dire Straits, Tom Petty, and Don Henley.
