On the next Fresh Air, we look at the increasingly sophisticated surveillance technology employed by local police departments often with little oversight – like small electronic devices that impersonate a cellphone tower, so mobile phones within range link up and share their information. A talk with journalist Jon Fasman, author of the book We See It All. Join us.

After damaging his vocal cords trying to be a rock singer, New Yorker staff writer John Colapinto became fascinated with the human voice. On the next Fresh Air, Dave Davies talks with Colapinto about how the voice evolved, how babies learn to vocalize our words so quickly, and why accents we pick up as kids are hard to shake. His new book is “This is the Voice.” Join us.
