About the Podcast
Border people often inhabit this in-between space created by the separation and collision of two cultures. From KPBS and PRX, “Port of Entry” tells personal stories from this place — stories of love, hope, struggle and survival from border crossers, fronterizxs and other people whose lives are shaped by the wall. These are cross-border stories that connect us, brought to you by hosts Alan Lilienthal and Natalie Gonzales, producer Julio Ortiz, sound designer Luca Vega.
