About This Podcast

Daily Border Crossings is a show that looks at what it’s like to feel like you’re crossing a border each day when you show up at a place. It could be work, school, college, a place you volunteer, maybe your neighborhood. Each day when you arrive, you feel like you have to leave so much of yourself outside the door, you can’t bring all of you with you, and it feels like you’re crossing a border. Each episode, we talk topics/to people who feel this way, sometimes to those who CAUSE others to feel this way, and have conversations around "othering" and not including certain types of people.
