An Attention Grabber
I’m not someone who’s usually interested in listening to podcasts unless if it brings something very unique to the table. This podcast is exactly that! From topics surrounding the life new comers to getting a taste of very captivating situations, you wouldn’t believe how fascinating individuals could be…

Review by an Immigration Attorney
To all the podcast lovers and immigration (law) nerds: Over the next several weeks I will publish here my completely biased reviews of some immigration related podcasts.
Let me start today with one of my favorites: Area 51 by Rahul Menon and Sanjay Krishna. Rahul and Sanjay are not lawyers but that is maybe why their podcast is so compelling. While they talk about immigration and immigration law they always focus on the people involved. A great example for that is a recent episode titled "The Terminal". It tells the story of Manisha and Balaji, two students from India whose dreams to study for an advanced degree in the United States get crushed by some overly zealous CBP agents. A conversation with immigration lawyer Jonathan Wasden provides some legal background.
Area 51 is a good listen. Or as Rahul and Sanjay put it: "It's just immigration, it's not rocket science, or is it?". Highly recommended!

Love the intent & content!!
The topic of the podcast is very relevant and useful. I like the depth & breadth of the topic, and appreciate the involvement and perspective of the Immigration Attorney. Given the huge impact of immigration policies on the lives of immigrations and their families, and the complicated mix of emotions, the free flowing conversational style of the hosts with a tinge of sarcasm lightens the blow. Above all, appreciate the intent, time, effort, and thought of the hosts. Would be better if they can be captured as bit-sized modules as the topic is content heavy and very nuanced.
Review of 'Simon Don't Go Back!'
I'm so glad you guys are publicizing the plight of immigrants across the United States. Listening to these podcasts is a great exercise of empathy. 😊

Unique perspective on the immigrant struggle with a funny twist!
Navigating immigration in US is extremely tricky. As someone who’s worked in immigration, I know the insane struggles visa holders go through. Thank you for using your voice to highlight this. This will be highly educational for the people who are new to the country as well as folks who have been here for a while. P.S- You guys are pretty funny!!
