Sasha Khokha was born in Los Angeles to a Punjabi father and an Irish-American mother. She fell in
love with radio wearing waterproof overalls, standing in a four-foot high stream trying to record
jumping salmon.
After stints as a reporter in Alaska and with NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday, Sasha joined KQED
in 2004. An avid fruit and nut eater, Sasha is excited to report from Fresno - the raisin capital
of the world.
Sasha is also a documentary filmmaker; her latest film, Calcutta Calling, follows the lives of
girls adopted from India to rural Swedish-Lutheran Minnesota. Sasha is a graduate of Brown
University and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.
