Podcast – This American Life Podcast “The Out Crowd”
- The story of the community with only 5 toilets will definitely stick with me.
- The way some of the asylum workers felt about about the stories that refugees were telling them to get into the country. Was cruel to hear, just because their stories are not visible in the media, dose not mean it is not real.
- Even though the majority of their listeners do not speak Spanish there still are listeners who do speak Spanish. Therefore letting the Spanish be heard allows the listeners who are Spanish to interpret and better understand the dialogue.
- I believe they won the Pulitzer Prize because the podcast did an outstanding job of show in the truth and the reality of what was going on at the border.
