Wow! What an eye opener. I have learned or should I say unlearned more in this brief podcast than in years of news reporting on the subject. Professor Siegel is so knowledgeable, articulate and expressive, and it’s obvious she cares deeply about her subject. Bravo!!!

What an inspiring interview about migration. Melissa is a really smart, super articulate, and passionate person who’s working hard on such an important and difficult subject. The interviewer is also very good. He has a warm personality and knew the subject of migration well enough to ask great questions.
