    Introducing: Subtitle

    While we work on more upcoming stories from Feet in 2 Worlds, we want to share some great episodes from other podcasts we think you’ll like. This episode comes from Subtitle, a podcast about languages and the people who speak them. In this episode, Subtitle tells the inspiring, heartbreaking story of Radio Haiti. For several decades, the station broadcast not just in French, spoken by Haiti’s elite, but also in Kreyòl, spoken by rich and poor alike. The Kreyòl-language programs communicated directly with the rural poor—popularizing issues of inequity and corruption.

    Introducing: Proof

    While we work on more upcoming stories from Feet in 2 Worlds, we want to share some great episodes from other podcasts we think you’ll like. This story comes from our friends at Proof from America’s Test Kitchen. It’s a podcast that dives deep into the unexpected backstories behind food and drinks, while examining the human stories that intersect along the way.  This episode follows the journey of the Shinta and Kawahara families — from immigration, to incarceration, to the present day. Proof reporter Hannah Kirshner travels to Watsonville, California, to report how Japanese-Americans — through their resilience — used ingenuity to help turn strawberries from a seasonal fruit to one that's available year-round. The episode was hosted by Proof’s previous host, Kevin Pang.

    Introducing: Disrupting Peace

    While we work on more upcoming stories from Feet in 2 Worlds, we want to share some great episodes from other podcasts we think you’ll like. This episode is from Disrupting Peace from the World Peace Foundation. The show explores why peace hasn’t worked and how it still could.  The episode we’re sharing is titled, “Why Addressing the Climate Crisis Will Increase Peace” from their first season. It explores the question: What if the inequalities and exploitation that are destroying the environment are also driving conflict?

    A People United and Represented

    In the early 20th century, Chicago became a city powered by a strong immigrant working class. As U.S. industry grew, immigrant workers demanded a say in their economic, social, and political conditions.  Producer Sophia Ramirez revisits the career of Adolph J. Sabath, a Bohemian Jewish immigrant whose constituents elected him into Congress 24 times.

    The Ghosts of Rock Springs

    In 1885, white miners brutally murdered 28 Chinese miners in Rock Springs, Wyoming. In 2025, producer Harrison Vijay Tsui goes to Rock Springs to unearth this dark chapter of U.S. history — and to ask: what does it cost to remember, and what does it cost to forget? We’ll hear from Chinese Americans in Rock Springs today and the descendants of the Massacre scattered across the country.

    Working 9 to 5 to 9

    Chinese home care workers in New York City are fighting to end an exploitative labor practice known as the 24-hour rule, where they are only paid for 13 out of 24 hours worked. However, they face resistance from officials and non-profits, and insufficient union support. Producers Aria Young and Leina Gabra take us inside the reality of 24-hour work and why it has been so difficult to change this policy.

    In the Weeds

    When New York State legalized recreational cannabis, officials did so with the promise to give those affected by the War on Drugs the first opportunity to sell cannabis legally. But while the state has celebrated the growth of its newest legal economy, many feel left out — no one more so than non-citizen immigrants. Producer Iggy Monda takes us through the streets of New York City to talk to formerly incarcerated business owners hoping to find a place in the industry, city and state officials who believe New York is on the right path, and experts who say immigrants should probably stay away from cannabis altogether.
