Most of us have a picture in our minds when we hear the word 'immigrant'. For some it sounds like a dirty word. For others, it means someone who needs help. Or an inspiring hero making a 'contribution'. Whatever picture you conjure, this weekly interview podcast with your host Christine Bacon is here to transform that into something way more interesting. Guests are a mixture of celebrities, public figures and regular Janes and they all share the unique experience of moving across borders and making a life for themselves in the UK.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>Maggie, the first Scandinavian on the podcast, is from Sweden and first came to the UK in 2006 on a whim after her studies, like so many back in the EU free movement days. She landed mysteriously in Exeter and has lived there ever since. Maggie and I accompanied by her dog Cass, talked about having no plan, Maggie’s passion for spreadsheets and the best Swedish sayings. </p><br><p>I Am An Immigrant is an <a href="https://iceandfire.co.uk/project/i-am-an-immigrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ice&fire theatre</a> production hosted by Christine Bacon, edited by <a href="https://www.helenclapp.co.uk/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helen Clapp</a>.

<p>Mr Mahmoud asked me not to use his real name. He is from Pakistan and came to the UK as a student in 2006 when he was in his mid 20s. He completed a Masters in Law and was in the middle of doing a Legal Practice Course in 2015 and just a few months away from being eligible for indefinite leave to remain here, when a letter from the Home Office accusing him of cheating on an English test changed the course of his life. We talked about the toll that this has taken on him and why, after 10 years of fighting the allegations against him, he won’t stop until he clears his name.</p><p>*</p><p>Find out more about Migrant Voice here <a href="https://www.migrantvoice.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.migrantvoice.org/</a></p><p>Follow their campaign about this issue #myfutureback</p><br><p>I am an Immigrant is an<a href="https://iceandfire.co.uk/project/i-am-an-immigrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> ice&fire theatre</a> production hosted by Christine Bacon, edited by Helen Clapp. Cover art by <a href="https://www.adajusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ada Jusic</a>.</p><p>This season is supported by the <a href="https://www.gardencourtchambers.co.uk/about/special-fund" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Garden Court Chambers Special Fund</a></p><p>We love hearing from you – email <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
