New Podcast Focuses on the Experiences and Contributions of Immigrants

Listeners will hear stories from first- and second-generation local immigrants. Their profound stories of perseverance and resilience will be aired on the new podcast, Conversations About Migration in Northern Arizona (CAMINA).

The series, sponsored by Alianza Spanish News, presents Doris Rodriguez in its first episode titled, “Across the Border and Beyond.” Doris’ moving first-hand experience will be aired on November 18, 2025 at http://podcastcamina.com/.  

The podcast series is co-hosted by Stephanie Voss and Susan Cooper, longtime advocates and writers. Monthly stories reveal the challenges immigrants face associated with separating from their homes, their families, and their communities while seeking the promise of a new life. The interviews will explore the trials and joys of making Yavapai County their home. Listeners will also learn of the many contributions our most recent neighbors make to our local community, culture, and workforce.

Cooper shares, “In covering stories about immigrants, the media tends to make generalizations about immigrants. We created this podcast so our Prescott community would have an opportunity to hear directly from their immigrant neighbors who are serving them meals at local restaurants, charting their medical histories at the doctor’s offices, or, perhaps, providing them with legal counsel. Their stories are filled with courage, strength, and often humor.”
