24 Hours on the Edge of Ground Zero
Summary
In the weeks and months leading from the 9-11 attack, what was life like around the perimeter of Ground Zero? A snapshot of history, 24 Hours on the Edge of Ground Zero explores the landscape that is disaster area, tourist attraction and shrine. Beginning at 7:00 a.m. on December 12th, 2001, reporters Jad Abumrad and Sesh Kannan collected conversations, stories and sounds between the perimeter and Nino's Restaurant, a 24 hour eatery open only to rescue workers. They discovered two types of people: the tourist and the rescue worker. How do these two groups differ in their experience of Ground Zero? As you travel through the 24 hours, it becomes clear that the situation itself resists summary. The visitors aren't merely "tourists" and the rescue workers aren't just "heroes."The Soundprint documentary series features the best work of top radio producers.

Dream Deferred
Summary
At the turn of this century some 5,000 refugee children arrived in the U.S. every year, penniless and alone, seeking asylum and freedom. A third were locked up - some alongside violent offenders. Until recently, many were deported back to traumatic home situations. The U.S. government does not provide them with lawyers, yet whether they can stay legally is decided in court. Reporter Gillian Karp follows two of these children, Juan Pablo from Honduras and Jimmy from Punjab, India. Why did they leave? What dreams are they chasing? How did they get here and where are they today? Dream Deferred takes a look at the situation of children who have illegally entered the country.

Evolution Boomerang
Summary
Evolution is usually thought of a slow, undetected process, happening over hundreds, even millions of years. But when humans enter the picture, whether they apply new insecticides, over-fish or dump pollutants, evolution accelerates changes in nature ... to the point where humans now must devise ways to stop or reverse the process. Producer Barbara Bogaev presents three cases where just by making one move, we’ve inadvertently produced a counter effect. Joined by noted evolution scientist and marine biologist Steve Palumbi of Stanford University, Evolution Boomerang looks at insecticide resistant cotton boll worms, Atlantic salmon with manipulated genetic traits and promiscuous bacteria that is adapting to toxic PCB’s. The Soundprint documentary series features the best work of top radio producers. The award winning documentaries are renowned for drawing the listener into the story with compelling interviews, authentic voices and rich sound. From memoirs to science, health and popular culture, Soundprint creates a powerful experience the listener will not soon forget.
