Immigration has been in the news a lot these days, but this podcast hopes to focus on the people and humanity behind the headlines. The two hosts have made careers out of teaching English to non-native speakers, all the while marveling at the stories of these amazing people who find themselves in an ESL classroom in the suburbs of Houston, TX, the most diverse city in the country. “The Shape of a Person” features weekly guests who share their stories and laughter with their teachers as well as with you, the audience.

New episodes drop on Friday.
