Reporter Jocelyn Frank

Diedra Hosek at Tenneco Automotive, Barry/Branch/Calhoun Michigan Works!As the Great Lakes region continues to face high rates of unemployment, many manufacturing workers find themselves laid off and lacking credentials to find new work.

It threw her a lifeline when she was laid off in 2007. Jocelyn Frank reports for Front and Center.

February 13, 2011 BBC Americana
BBC Reporter Adam Brookes, Field Producer Jocelyn Frank
LISTEN (This feature is embedded within a collection of stories. Tangier Island begins 13:29 into the file.)
Due to its isolation, some credit Tangier Island with holding onto the earliest forms of British English to reach North America. Tangier is a 45-minute ferry ride from the mainland. Residents carry an inflection and vocabulary both distinct and reminiscent of days passed. With the rise of tourism, downturn in traditional fields of employment and continuous brain drain, reporter Adam Brookes traveled to Tangier to listen for himself to what could soon be a language lost at sea.

Ceasefire Uganda
July 8, 2007 Weekend Edition Sunday
Reporter Jocelyn Frank
LISTEN
For most of the last 20 years the Lord's Resistance Army has been in a violent war against the government forces in Uganda. But civilian families living in Northern Uganda, especially children, suffered the greatest casualties. That's because the LRA formed its ranks by abducting kids from their villages, most often at night. Many were raped and all were forced to fight or be killed. As a result of this violence, children began to leave their villages and sleep in the larger, safer towns at night. Thousands of children became night commuters. About 8 months ago that began to change, as Jocelyn Frank reports.
