Risk Takers and Negotiators

How do we know when it’s time to take a risk and push, or if it’s better to step back and negotiate? In this episode, a co-production with Foreign Policy, we’re talking about calculated risks in high stakes situations. Retired four-star general Stanley McChrystal talks with Foreign Policy’s pentagon and national security reporter Jack Detsch about his new book Risk: A User’s Guide, US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the risks that leaders face every day. Then, we give you a preview of a new podcast series called The Negotiators. Wendy Sherman, currently Deputy Secretary of State, talks about the tactics she deployed in negotiating the Iran nuclear agreement. We close with an update on Iran nuclear negotiations with Jenn Williams, deputy editor at Foreign Policy, and Ali Vaez, director at the International Crisis Group.see more

 (ALICE Arts)

A group of Oakland public school third graders were given an assignment: interview your parents and grandparents, and record their stories about growing up in the U.S. or moving to this country. The local nonprofit running the project, ALICE Arts, found itself with over 400 oral histories -- immigrant stories from Cambodia to Africa's Gold Coast and beyond. The resulting radio documentary will air on KQED on May 31.

Guests:

Albert Greenberg, co-artistic director of ALICE Arts

Helen Stoltzfus, co-artistic director and co-founder of ALICE Arts
