REBECCA NOVICK, CONTRIBUTING PRODUCER: Born and raised in England, Rebecca emigrated to California in the early eighties
after spending a year traveling through Europe and the Middle East. She put her love of interviewing and story-telling
into print and film before she came to radio, authoring two interview anthologies and writing and producing an award-winning
documentary on human rights about the Chinese occupation of Tibet. This experience inspired her to write and edit a
number of books on Eastern philosophy and to serve on the board of a non profit dedicated to Tibetan human rights. She
currently produces THE TIBET CONNECTION on KPFK. Her favorite place on the planet is India. Her second favorite
is Indian restaurants.
