Executive producer Nahnatchka Khan tells us about creating the first sitcom starring an Asian American family in more than 20 years, and the pressures that came along with knowing the show would be so closely observed. She also talks about dealing with the complaints of Eddie Huang, whose memoir inspired the show. Then, the new Hungarian film White God features quite a large four-legged cast -- more than 250 dogs. KCRW's Matt Holzman meets the superdogs who lead the pack and their trainer Teresa Miller, who found them as puppies in an Arizona trailer park.
