This hour people trying their best — and sometimes failing miserably — to make a connection.


Incommunicado 

By Yowei Shaw (The World In Words, PRI, 2015) 

Yowei Shaw was born in the United States and speaks virtually no Mandarin. Her grandfather is from Taiwan and speaks virtually no English. Kid talk was fine when Yowei was a kid. But now she's grown up, she's determined to have proper conversations with Yeye— before it's too late.


Meet the Jawniaks 

By John Biewen (Radiotonic, ABC RN, 2014) 

John Biewen never imagined he would have any reason to visit Poland or to encounter the Polish language in any serious way. Then, in middle age, he fell in love with a Polish immigrant named Ewa. John went to Poland to meet the parents, but still he saw no reason to trouble himself learning Ewa’s mother tongue. At least, not before arriving on Polish soil.


Chin-Kyll and Bo-Ok: Across the DMZ 

By Davey Kim (Snap Judgement, 2015) 

What happens when you are reunited with your North Korean sister for the first time in over five decades?


This episode of Re:sound was produced by Dennis Funk.
