Nguyen Qui Duc, host of KQED's Pacific Time radio show is leaving. September 14th will be his last broadcast. He is moving back to Vietnam where he will continue to report on stories.
Here's a story by Vanessa Hua in the SF Chronicle: Good morning, Vietnam -- decades after he fled, a radio host is going home.
Duc is also an advisor to Hyphen and has mentored many Asian American journalists. We're sad to see him leave the Bay Area, but excited for him. Good luck and thank you, Duc!

Diddy, Sonyk and the Monster were in Finland repping more than just the red, white and blue; they were also scoring glory for the yellow. Because like competitive eating and women's golf, air guitar is a sport dominated by sons and daughters of the East.
