Hi John, 

What a year for Only in America! We changed our format, we had some
fun and we even won a W3 award! Our team had the opportunity to
highlight Immigrant Heritage Month
 as
well as the ongoing effort of Welcoming Afghan refugees to the US
. In
2021, the pod delved even more into longer-form stories and themes
about immigrants and immigration, producing approximately 13 hours and
25 minutes into over 35 episodes of the pod. We
hope you've enjoyed it as much as we have!

Listen to these episodes now on iTunes
, Spotify
, Stitcher
, and more
.

During our brief break in the new year, our team wanted to take a
moment to reflect and highlight our favorite episodes. Below is the
list of our favorites, as well as a few behind-the-scenes
insights. We hope you have the time to enjoy these episodes!  

Listen Now:  

* Olympic Dreams: Makorobondo "Dee" Salukombo
:
We were able to put together this episode with the help of Christy 
Staats, one of our
great mobilizers with Bibles, Badges and Business,
 who
connected us with Dee.   

* Sikh Captain America
:
Vishavjit Singh is one of our heroes from the podcast - and he's
still using his powers to open doors for discussion and moments of
introspection. Please be sure to check out his website
 for updates on his movie as
well as upcoming projects.  

* A Country of Welcome
: This
episode features Edafe Okporo  speaking
about his experiences with the US asylum system and his current work
trying to help other asylees. We were so inspired by his story; we
also produced an animated video about this episode you can find
here: Only In America: Edafe's Story
 

* Fugees Academy :
We just wrapped up this series and it was so great to hear from the
kids and staff at the Fugees Academy
! Their hope and vision for the future is
what helps keep us going at the Forum and Only in America.  

* What's Happening at the Southern Border
:
This episode was particularly special for me because it
features some interviews I did at the US-Mexico border in March. I
was able to visit the Kino Border Initiative
 and it was eye-opening to see
their space and hear about the magnificent work they do. And as a
bonus, we won a W3 award for this episode!  

Listen to these episodes now on iTunes
, Spotify
, Stitcher
, and more
. 

We really appreciate all of our guests, everyone on our team
who has helped put our podcast together each week, and of course,
listeners like you who tune in each week! 

Our new year's resolution is to keep creating content that moves and
inspires you - and for you to subscribe to Only in America
 wherever you
listen to our podcast.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
