Customer Reviews
Really insightful and welcoming
The podcast is really lovely to listen to as the interviews are insightful and thought-provoking, and also welcoming to all audiences. Even if you don’t know much about disability or immigration, everything is really well explained and accessible. It could be helpful to so many people to like those in disability, immigration, social work, academia, but also just to anyone interested. It feels very friendly and personable so I enjoyed just getting to hear different people’s stories and perspectives.
