Immigrants and Exiles

Society EN ↓ 27 episodes

We are the sons of migrants. In the podcast, we talk about our experiences growing up in Australia in the second half of the Twentieth century. My name is Walter and my friend is Moreno. We met at university. After a long time not seeing each other, we started meeting again regularly for lunch every two weeks at The Beachcomber in St. Kilda. Occasionally we meet for breakfast when the cafe is quieter and we record our conversations. Write to us at waltermusolino@gmail.com if you would like to talk to us about your emigrant experiences. Technical production for these podcasts is by Laura Wild.
