We meet a former US drone operator and learn what it’s like to work in a perpetual state of war. Then, Farea al-Muslimi - a Yemeni activist - describes life on the other end of America’s drone programme. Also, allegations that a US development agency planned to use hip-hop to start a Cuban revolution. The Oregon school that’s raising the bar for bilingual education. And the risks of remaining a monolingual culture. Plus, how the etymology of food terms reveals the history and travels of the things we eat.
