"Welcome to 'All You Can Carry', a monthly podcast that explores stories of adversity, hardship and hope from within the global refugee community.
Each episode, we'll hear from refugees past and present about their journeys, the challenges they’ve faced, and their hopes for the future.
Join us as we hear tales of courage, compassion, and the remarkable resilience of the human spirit.
You’ll meet the staff and volunteers of the organizations that work with refugees day to day, the lawmakers involved in setting policy, and local community leaders at the forefront of refugee support.
Most importantly, you’ll hear from current and former refugees themselves about their journeys, their experiences and how everything they’ve been through has shaped who they are, and how they see the world.
For Amaanah Refugee Services, I'm your host, Richard Spragg, and this is 'All You Can Carry’."

Probing Conversations
It’s refreshing to hear such in-depth conversation that allows for so much more exploration of issues on refugee resettlement than the typical frantic news report. Thank you for your thoughtful work!
A must listen for all Americans…
Brilliant podcast. Provides poignant insight into the challenges of living in the U.S. as a refugee, and a much needed reminder that, contrary to what many Americans think, not all of them want to stay here and “steal your jobs” - many of them would love nothing more than to go home, back to the lives and families they left behind.
