Same Boat
Ever wonder what you’ve got in common with people in other parts of the world? Just when you think someone in a far off place is nothing like you, if we talk to them and hear their story, we often find that their experiences, joys, and concerns are a lot like our own. Join Tim Pogo for Same Boat as he tells the stories of real people around the globe. We'll learn what they're dealing with as well as where they think everything will go from here. And typically we'll have plenty to laugh about, too. If you love human interest and getting a perspective of how others live and how it relates to you and your life, then you’re in the right spot.

Episode 7
As a continuation of our topic in the last episode, we remain in Iceland for Part 2. But this time, as we dig deeper into that country's general state of tolerance and equality, as well as the actions being taken by Icelanders in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement. To accomplish this, we speak with Jewells, an African American living full time in Iceland. Her insight and story of her experiences as a person of color in a predominantly white country further point out how the tiny country can teach us all things about being anti-racist.
