Aiming to connect communities through unique and unexpected stories

Greetings! A new show is coming to KBOO Community Radio and it is Intersections Radio! This show is hosted and produced by me, Sarika Mehta, with my partner-in-crime - Liz Rogers - engineering (that is, making us sound great!). Liz and I were a part of the amazing APA Compass collective at KBOO!

Intersections Radio starts from an Asian Pacific American perspective, and aims to connect communities through unique and unexpected stories. I've always wanted to collect these kinds of stories after a collective career working with linguistic minorities: from my early days in Bilingual Education to my current days as a Sign Language Interpreter. This idea was inspired by stories from theDeaf South Asian American community, at the intersection of race, ethnicity, language and deafness. 

**Intersections Radio airs at a new time: First Fridays from 11-11:30 am on KBOO! Tune in at 90.7 FM or stream live at kboo.fm
