I’m happy to support small businesses especially with such a great host. I highly recommend the Ukrainian episode, it helps highlight the struggles of the Russian intervention in Ukraine.
Aidan dissects experiences of migrants in a way that makes the whole process look doable. Very inspirational for wannabe immigrants.
Even though it’s still a newer podcast, each episode has been a great listen. 10/10 would recommend
Very informative about the world around us.
The Push Pull Factor was a great first podcast for me to listen to! I’ve always shied away from them simply because I thought they weren’t for me, but Aidan does a fascinating job of finding guests from a wide variety of places, and tying in factual information to their anecdotes. I’m learning so much about the world of immigration and emigration!
Keep up the good work, this will open many eyes
