I want to find an npr program broadcast

So yesterday evening I was listening to npr when they brought up China. Specifically they mentioned the tendency of Chinese people and authorities to value speed over quality, and a description of it they gave it called, by the reporter's words, "so huo". now, I know that it should be cuo huo or suo huo or some close variation, but would really appreciate it if someone happened to know where I could listen to the article and share it with my teachers since a couple are interested in what the phrase is.

    Do you remember which program it was on? All Things Considered?

    Their website at npr.org is pretty comprehensive. I've been searching it for, you know, things about China but haven't stumbled across the phrase. You may have better luck.

    EDIT: Also try looking up the local station and seeing if they have their own programs that it might have been on.

    Looking at their schedule yes, it was All Things Considered.

    Here's the URL for yesterday's ATC broadcast. I don't see a story about China off hand, but it might be there.

    Found it! It was actually on PRI's The World.

    Now to figure out what characters they're using.

    If you do find the characters, mind posting them? I like the concept and it might be neat to make a poster of it or something.

    Oh, yeah, we figured it out earlier in class. We're pretty sure it's actually cuohe and the area she's in just has a local accent that changes it. The characters are 凑合 which literally mean gather together, improvise, or get by.
