Random Refugee Podcasts

How are you? I’m curious. That’s why I go around asking a lot of questions, watching the responses and listening to the answers from people who are rich or powerful, famous or infamous or who have remarkable stories to tell. We all have those, if the truth be told, even when we feel like we don’t.

I like to listen and to learn because I want to connect with whoever is in front of me: whether that’s Scarlett the Hollywood superstar hiding out in a hotel bar in Manhattan on the day her marriage disintegrates. Or Tiger, the greatest sportsman of all time, mired in scandal and using silence as a weapon as he strides through a crowd, unaware that the truth will pop up anyway, against his will.

Those are just two of the stories I’d like to tell you.

Then there’s Nelson, the former political prisoner now lying in state as the late president of his country, his oceanic soul having flown. There are things to be learned from each of these people and I’d like us to learn together.

I hope you’ll take pleasure in the way the stories are told. They are new and original pieces, written to entertain and for the joy of the telling, using an original interview as a jumping off point. Each stands alone, but together they build into a bigger story. Can We Talk? is about people striving to make sense, striving to be understood, striving to connect.

Broken English is a mobile podcast hosted by me, Andrew Mahar in and around Chicago, Illinois. This first season is a mixture of interviews from people who have immigrated to the U.S. ranging from Mexico to South Africa to Turkey to Bolivia. With the Trump administration creating such a negative connotation around the word “Immigrant” now more than ever, immigrants need a voice to share their side of the story. Broken English is here to be that voice.

We Share The Same Sky is an intimate portrait of family history that tells the stories of two young women—Hana as a refugee who remains one step ahead of the Nazis at every turn, and Rachael, her granddaughter, on a search to retrace her grandmother’s history. Presented by USC Shoah Foundation, this seven-part narrative series explores how the retelling of family stories becomes history itself and how acts of kindness during war can echo across generations.

Uncivilised. Illegal. Security threat.

Labels and statistics have been used to dehumanise refugees and displaced communities around the world to justify hostile asylum policies, inhuman treatment and direct discrimination.

Join us as More Than A Statistic takes you on a journey to destroy one stereotype at a time and rehumanise the narrative, by putting the narrative back where it belongs, with the people themselves.
