593: Don’t Have to Live Like a Refugee Aug. 5, 2016 Act One: You Just Keep on Pushing My Love Over the Borderline There are young single men and women at the camps, and there’s some flirting for sure. But usually it doesn’t seem to go very far.
Act Two: Thank You for Smoking People don’t have a lot of money in the refugee camps, and our producer Miki Meek went to see what that’s like at a camp that’s been built on the grounds of an abandoned psychiatric hospital. About 1,300 people are living there.
Act Three: Last Resort There’s a camp trying to set the gold standard for what refugee camps are to be. It’s in an actual beach vacation resort. Joanna Kakissis went there.
Act Four: Take Another Little Piece of My Heart One night at L-M Village, a panic-struck man walked up to Robyn Semien from our staff. He said his wife had a medical problem.
Act Five: Smile, You’re on Handmade Camera Sean hit up this one piece of coverage that wasn’t like any of the others. He got a little obsessed with it.
592: Are We There Yet? July 29, 2016 Act One: Field of Interrupted Dreams One good place to see how this ad hoc response is working is at an abandoned baseball stadium in Athens. About a thousand Afghans are now living here.
Act Two: The Parents, Trapped Kids are everywhere in the camps, they’re a third of the refugees. You see them around, improvising stuff to play with.
Act Three: All Our Representatives Are Currently Busy The first step for refugees trying to get out of limbo in Greece has been calling (and calling) the asylum office… on Skype.
