EPISODE 5

YOU ARE WELCOME

“What the heck is the Statue of Liberty there for?” And with that, we’re off, roaming the complicated landscapes of American identity, American dreams, American history and American politics. In this first of a two-part series, Jim and Dana and Vern explore immigration—from the hypothetical Pig Latin population of Chile, to the residents of a small coastal Washington town, to the real and complicated stories of real immigrants. Listen for an appearance from a very real Ramblin’ Jack Elliott as well.
