Customer Reviews
A brilliant exploration of a world in motion
Borderline is a place for those who know that human belonging is, and always has been, complex. I love its celebration of multiple identities and affiliations, and the way it offers a space for resisting the claim that belonging must be both simple and single. In a world of increasingly hard borders, projects like this have never been more necessary.
Purpose-driven, authentic and raw
The Borderline pod is authentic and raw, it's also purpose-driven - it asks difficult questions about global life with borders to navigate and introduces you to interesting people with original takes on this subject. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and many of them feel same-y, but not Borderline. I highly recommend it, as it also comes with a very informative and engaging newsletter.
Important stories celebrating migration
Borderline is the community to be a part of if you know that people moving is both a normal thing to do and one of the greatest experiences of living. I love getting to hear the stories and unique perspectives from global citizens on the podcast, and reading about what’s going on in the global citizen world in the newsletters. In a world increasingly going hardline on borders, it's refreshing and reassuring to hear from voices that recognise the value and beauty of movement.
