Some of the best youth-produced pieces on PRX are here, compiled into a hour-long special that's easy for stations to use. The Migration Project tackles a broad cross-section of issues raised by immigrants (and emigrants) with a vibrant host and production team that have managed to create a coherent piece out of diverse segments.

The eight segments, ranging from a year old to newly posted, are bookended with background information on the producers and interesting follow-up material. Host Dinorah Flores-Perez is not a dispassionate narrator, either. She weaves her story of migration throughout the show.

This show includes a wide variety of stories from youth who have come to the United States of America from around the world: Mexico, the Bahamas, Hong Kong, the Philippines, El Salvador, Sierra Leone, and Columbia. Perhaps the most powerful message that migration is not just about crossing into new countries, but also about crossing into new cultures comes from Machlyn Blair, a native of the hills of Kentucky.

By not distracting listeners with an immigration policy debate, this show will go a long way towards helping the audience understand how youth who have migrated by choice and by family feel, and what issues they face. This is an hour of audio worthy of prime airtime.
