Deeply moving podcast about the inhumanity of today’s refugee (non-)”system” that leaves millions of people in a bizarre and cruel limbo, as though suspended in amber forever. Love the silences as well as the interviews and structure. Congratulations to both women who made this.

We have all heard about refugees but hearing their voices, knowing their stories is what The Wait gives. EVERYONE should listen to this & learn how it impacts every layer of their community. Every country should do more to help resettle them permanently.
This podcast does a good job at explaining the human side & also the bureaucracy these people face, just to live like you & me. Highly recommend this podcast.
