Many Roads to Here
Many Roads to Here (MRH), a podcast produced entirely by volunteers, tells the story of our nation’s newcomers in their own words, bringing the voices of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to a national conversation about migration and identity. We advance the national dialogue around race and identity and dispel the myths, stereotypes and preconceptions that haunt immigrants. We aim not to preach, but to inform--and, better yet, empathize. MRH is a production of The Immigrant Story (TIS), a trusted storytelling organization based in the Pacific Northwest. MRH is committed to centering the stories of immigrants and refugees of color, whose voices have been marginalized in the U.S. We strive to reflect the national discourse. In order to combat erasure of immigrants, our interviews are archived at the Oregon Historical Society. In this way, we put those voices into an institution that preserves their narratives for future researchers. Our podcast illuminates the broader themes of human migration, persecution and refuge, and demonstrates that these storytellers are our neighbors. We believe the stories in Many Roads to Here invite listeners to take stock of their own life experiences, and to view newcomers to America with a new perspective and, we hope, respect.

This is an outstanding podcast series, bringing insight and awareness to the experiences of immigrants who face unimaginable challenges and often incredible danger to journey to the US. Here they become our neighbors, friends, and community leaders— they become our fellow Americans. In their own words, they bring their stories and their humanity. Thanks to all the volunteers who work in the podcast to illuminate their invaluable stories. Gary Larkin / Oct 3, 2021
Extraordinary and harrowing

Immigrants are the best of us. This podcast serves them so well. Courageous, inspiring stories that help you understand the strength of character it takes to uproot yourself and head towards a dream (but not a promise) of a better life. Highly recommend!
Beautiful Human Stories

My grandfather believed that world peace could be achieved through travel — which would allow people to see the ways we are all connected and all special. This podcast has given me the opportunity to virtually meet some incredible people in my community who are from all over the world. We often talk about immigration in a collective sense, but these stories offer valuable richness and detail to that topic. I’m grateful to the interviewees and to The Immigrant Story for doing this work.
Inspiring and moving!
