Are these desperate times for Musharraf? What is behind the promulgation of the draconian new PEMRA ordinance attempting to gag the media? Will the crisis that began in Islamabad on March 9, and that reached a tragic crescendo in Karachi on May 12, find a resolution in London, where Imran Khan is bringing charges of terrorism against MQM chief Altaf Hussain? How do expat Pakistanis in the US respond to these events? The Pak|Cast team brings the passion of the Pakistani diaspora and the diversity of its views to the table, carrying forward a conversation begun in email by Beena Sarwar, Nasir Aziz, Danial Noorani and others.

Also, listen to a new poem on Karachi, phoned in by Sehba Sarwar.
