Release of a new podcast series: Migration in Focus - Voices from the UK

In this podcast series, Lara Momesso returns to the field, this time turning the microphone towards British citizens living alongside new migrants to the UK. Through thoughtful conversations, she explores how the presence of immigrants in the UK has shaped the lives, views, and emotions of its citizens. Whether you're a recent immigrant curious about how you're perceived, a British citizen or a more established migrant interested in hearing diverse perspectives from your fellow locals, this podcast offers an open space to listen, reflect, and engage.
 
Migration in Focus is created in collaboration with Work Better Innovations, and post-produced & Hosted by Saspod. 
  
The first episode is on air!

This first interview is with Ross, a British citizen married to a foreign citizen.

In this episode, Ross opens his heart about the joys, challenges, and resilience of transnational family life, from navigating everyday family pressures to facing anti-immigration sentiment. He reflects on the gifts of multiple languages, layered identities, and a sense of belonging that stretches beyond borders. At its core, his story is one of hope, care, and the dream of a world where diversity is embraced.
