Customer Reviews
Important Stories
These stories are important, but also so much more fun and more compelling than you even expect. Nestor Gomez is an amazing storyteller and host.
Truly wonderful and down to earth interviews
There needs to be more podcasts like this, produced like this. Simple and beautiful.
Stories, reflection, complication
An excellent podcast from Chicago's best storyteller. These stories from immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and allies cultivate empathy. They are stories that are as complicated as people themselves are. After the stories, Nestor Gomez and Angel Ling talk with the storytellers and share their own reflections, so listeners get to have a thoughtful conversation about what each immigration story adds to the whole picture of immigration in the U.S. today. An important and inspiring podcast. Don't miss it.
