"Samuel L. Jackson in French" Sarah Elzas:
The capital of the movies is Hollywood. Its language is English. But the rest of the world doesn't necessarily understand the language of that capital, and they don't always want to read subtitles. Enter: voiceover actors. This story first aired on Studio 360.
"Voices in Her Head" Anna Cranage Conathan:
Anna Cranage Conathan is a writer who has many voices in her head. In this piece we meet 2 of them.
"Karaoke Dad" Scott Gurian:
Every Friday night dozens of people gather around the bar at Nicola's Italian Restaurant in Hawthorne, New Jersey. Producer Scott Gurian goes along with his father for Karaoke night.
"Opera Singer" Rob Sachs:
As B-side's Rob Sachs reports opera singers will do most anything to safeguard their most prized possession.
"Voice" Shawn Wen:
Shawn Wen found that her voice doesn’t reflect her identity.
"Ex-Gay" Kerry Seed:
On facebook or myspace in the section where you’re supposed to describe yourself sexual preference and religion are prominent. But what if you are an evangelical Christian, and gay. Well, it doesn’t work very well. Kerry Seed met one of the creators of the ex-gay movement.
"Childless Mother" Julie Caine:
Babies, babies, babies. It seems like everybody's doing it. Fertility is in the air. But at the same time, the number of women actively choosing not to have children is on the rise. Is there a place for women who decide not to participate in this most traditional of female roles? And what about that maternal instinct we hear so much about? Julie Caine explores how growing up as a motherless child prepared her to be a childless mother."Gray Hair" Sara Wood:
Some people, when they hit a certain age, stop counting. But then you start counting other things. Producer Sara Wood started this count a little sooner than she thought she would.
