Somefiercething is Sarah Jackson-Han, communications and media relations director at RFA since 2001 or thereabouts. A correspondent and Asia analyst for so long that she barely recalls anything else, Sarah holds honors degrees from Dartmouth College and Cambridge University; she has worked in Asia and Washington for Agence France-Presse and National Public Radio Online, and she can be heard every Friday morning on BBC Three Counties Radio.
‘Some fierce thing’ derives from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 23, which Sarah, who can be rather a pedant, believes every person should read for himself or herself. She is a Capricorn and a natural redhead.

jdlipes is Joshua Lipes, online copy editor at RFA since 2008. Josh is a cinefile, a beer-brewer, a Mandarin speaker and a self-professed foodie who lives in northwest DC. He has traveled extensively throughout eastern and southeastern Asia, but has also lived in China and Japan. He misses bungalowing on Koh Panang and zip-lining through the forests of northwestern Laos. He even misses the crowds and pollution of Beijing!
