But as a blind, undocumented immigrant, Pedro faces political restrictions to obtain his college degree, secure a job in his field, and support his family. As he finally graduates, uncertainty looms over Pedro. What starts as a journey to provide mental health care for his community ultimately transforms into Pedro’s path towards his own healing. Based on the award-winning film, “unseen: Life as a Blind Immigrant“ is an immersive show that puts you inside Pedro’s life, while exploring immigration, disability, and new ways to experience a podcast.

Wherever we turn for the last several months, it's almost impossible to not notice the 2024 US elections. Unfortunately, the discourse has left out (if not dehumanized altogether) the communities our show uplifts: people with disabilities, undocumented immigrants, and perhaps even you who is just trying to get by in your everyday life. For this bonus episode, we want to give you a pause from all that. We’re reflecting on what the outcomes of the elections mean to us. But rather than tell you what we think or how you should feel, we offer a song for your spirit instead. We hope this offering speaks to you somehow.
Thanks to Julie Yeeun Kim for sharing her original song with us. You can follow her work wherever you stream your favorite music.
