EVENTS BY BOULDER WEEKLY STAFF
If your organization is planning an event of any kind, please email Caitlin at crockett@boulderweekly.com. PREMIERE OF “A BETTER LIFE?” — A PODCAST.
Aug. 20 on all major distribution platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Himalaya, Pocket Casts, Spotify and Stitcher, fi2w.org. The story of a Boulderite kicks off a new podcast by Feet in 2 Worlds. Premiering Aug. 20, “A Better Life?” explores how the coronavirus pandemic and America’s failed response to COVID-19 has reshaped immigrants’ lives and their relationship to the United States. Each episode tells a different immigrant story and examines how the crisis has challenged or changed that person’s ideas of what it means to be American. “A Better Life?” also includes conversations with immigrant elders — grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles — to hear how they’re coping during this time, and what they’ve learned over the years that can help the rest of us survive today’s challenges. This 10-part series is hosted by Zahir Janmohamed, the co-creator and host of the Racist Sandwich podcast, and produced by Mia Warren, a former producer at StoryCorps and former resident of Boulder.
