I mean, what else is there to say? This podcast is an absolute classic and an inspiration. The graciously shared stories in this show are SO important and Immigrantly does an amazing job at shedding light on them.

Saadia uses her powerful interview skills to tell beautiful stories. I just heard someone on her show today say that immigrant stories are love stories. These are love stories.

A podcast that centers immigrant stories without putting immigrants into a box! I’m so impressed by the diverse range of topics that Immigrantly has covered in the past. Saadia has great chemistry with her guests to the point where it feels like I’m overhearing a conversation between friends. Many of my favorite episodes stay with me long after I power off my headphones!

It was such a pleasure to work with Saadia. She’s an incredibly thorough researcher, asks amazing questions, and is just a delight on air. One of the best experiences I’ve had with a podcast, both as a listener and guest!

I am Mexican, I am a daughter of immigrant parents. 1st to graduate with from the university in my family. I was born in the US but I am “not for here or there”. At least this is how I’ve felt my whole life. Immigrantly, has helped little by little fill a gap. This podcast has helped me by little more proud and confident in who I am. How has this podcast helped me? I was at a point a couple weeks ago where I was frustrated. I felt lost an didn’t know where to go to find like minded individuals. Why was I frustrated because of the injustice between white and brown people. Because even after going to the university and gaining work experience during school I still wasn’t getting paid what I should with my degree. I still am not being valued is what this told me. I am tired of fighting for a place on the table, it has felt like my whole life I have been fighting a battle to feel accepted and valued. I am not an expert on the topic of pay gap. The with the little research that I did on pay gap. Was enough to infuriate me. I started looking for ways to become informed, podcasts have always been for me the go to. I searched for podcasts that would be informative, supportive I also search for podcasts that talked about rights in America. It didn’t take long before I ran into the Immigrantly podcast and I am so happy I did. It has really, an truly become my go to podcast. Everything that is talked is about relatable to me and I also learn so much! Any chance I get I share podcast on my social media I do! because I believe everyone! Absolutely everyone it doesn’t matter your race, ethnicity, color, etc. Everyone should be listening to all of these valuable conversations. Thank you so much for having such an awesome podcast!!! ♥️

This podcast is one of my favorites because of its commitment to telling great stories and information from a multitude of immigrants. It demonstrates that there are so many types of immigrants and each have their unique experiences. It’s also just incredibly fun to listen to! Saadia and the team are amazing and give it a listen ❤️

I LOVE this podcast! I’m so glad I discovered it because now I’m hooked. I’ve learned so much about immigrants and the immigrant experience which is so nuanced and complex. Saadia is a lovely host and asks the real and difficult questions. HIGHLY recommend!

Such a beautifully done podcast that create stories we can all learn and relate to

I’ve been listening to this podcast and following them on social media channels, the guests have great stories to share and it’s always inspiring to listen to their journey.

Saadia and her guests open up new perspectives in such a unique and life-changing way. Love this podcast to pieces.

I am so glad that I discovered Immigrantly! All episodes are so unique from different perspectives. Saadia is such a great host who asks amazing and thoughtful questions. Shahjehan is the newest season about Love has been such a great co-host to listen to and the energy/vibe he brings with Saadia has been fun to listen to! I can’t wait to keep listening to more interviews and concepts! Joanna C.

Every episode of Immigrantly is insightful and thought-provoking. The guests give such an interesting perspective to the most pressing and interesting topics for the immigrant community. As a BIPOC woman interested in entertainment, this previous season was especially affirming. Great work!

I'm really glad I started listening to Immigrantly. I've learned so much from listening to others experiences. You can always take something from each episode. If you're interested in hearing different life experiences, I highly suggest this podcast!

Immigrantly is one of those podcasts that you can’t believe you live so much of your life without. It should be mandatory listening for every single person no matter their background. With each episode I feel look I’m closer to fully understanding my experiences as a woman of color as well as experiences of the people around me. Saadia has an incredible ability to connect with all of her guests in a way that is very natural and genuine. And even though every episode dives into complex and deep topics it never feels overly heavy, because Saadia is able to keep conversations light and exciting. Thank you for making this podcast, it’s so important!

This show is refreshing because it is always developing with the times. I’ve noticed in the last few months that the conversations are light, but still incredibly informative. This current season about representation in media is fantastic!

Words cannot describe how validating this podcast has been for me. I could relate to issues of colorism, racism,classism , accent, religious taboos, mental health, assimilation etc.

Thank you for making space for the immigrant experiences, stories we don’t hear much. Would love to hear more from African and Black immigrants :)

Immigrantly provides a deep dive into issues not commonly discussed in our society. These stories provide a counter narrative to what we often hear shared by mainstream media. If you live in an area where you don’t get to see the vastness of the immigrant experience or have the opportunity to learn about the issues that are most important to immigrant communities, then this podcast is an excellent resource to expand your understanding and knowledge about communities outside of your own.

Immigrantly is the podcast we all need in our lives! It is informative, insightful, and mind-opening. I learn more from each episode and guest.

Even though I’m not typically big on podcasts, Immigrantly is always an easy choice. Between its creativity, the depth they explore each topic and the guests they manage to bring on, I highly recommend this podcast to anyone! It’s so informative and such a fun listen!

This is such an informative and interesting podcast, and it really shines a light on the immigrant experience and how diverse it is.

I wouldn’t consider myself a “podcast person” but after listening to Immigrantly, I have gained a deeper understanding about the immigrant experience. If there’s one podcast to listen to, it’s this one. Saadia has created something that manages to highlight the many nuances found in daily life, while keeping conversations engaging and meaningful. The guests are always spectacular and the conversations never disappoint. I have listened to every episode to date, and I’m so excited for what’s next to come!

I love the rawness of this Podcast. Being a black woman working in Corporate American has not always been welcoming. Listen to others talking about their experiences let’s me know that I’m okay in my own skin. Thank you Saadia.

Great for cultural insight and perspective. Learn something new each episode!

Hi Yara and immigrantly web page . I follow you and this podcast. So much fun

As a women in her 30s, I have heard many stories from my father about his experience immigrating from Iran over 40 years ago. I am proud to listen to this podcast and hear the different stories.

Saadia has created a space that allows for truth to be spoken, in a time where such havens are scarce. She is a brave, intelligent and empathetic host, with the talent and ability to delve into sensitive dialogue with mastery.

I loved hearing Parnaz Foroutan’s interview- I read her work of fiction and am very excited to read Home Is a Stranger.

What I love about Immigrantly is that it can't be defined. Yes, it's a podcast about the immigrant experience, but each episode covers topics from politics to art to spirituality. It has something for everyone. Saadia is a wonderful host who navigates the conversations with ease, keeping it engaging. My favorite episode is "An Insider-Outsider Perspective" with the artist Saks Afridi. Hearing Saks talk about the connection between Sufism and science fiction was mindblowing. Immigrantly's strength is that it is inherently interdisciplinary. Love this podcast!

This is a podcast for the immigrant, for the culturally curious, for the humanist who seek to hear their experiences cared for and resonated in others’ stories. Every episode is it’s own unique journey where to laugh, to wince, to rethink are only some of the reactions elicited in the listener. Saadia is creating a platform that challenges the status quo around immigrant narratives, uncovering peoples’ truths in order to reconcile with fraught systems and bring out what’s common.

This is definitely one of my favorite podcasts. I have listened to many interviewers and Saadia does it right. She asks in depth questions and provides a unique perspective on many topics that I’m personally not as informed in. 100% recommend listening to!

This podcast is built on such a simple and beautiful point: when we talk to one another and hear about each other’s lives, we find commonalities and understanding that breaks down stereotypes and misconceived notions. Thank you for creating this space for stories to be told and for others to listen to them.

Beyond expectations. The host of this podcast has taken the controversial topic of immigration and immigrants and has created and informative as well entertaining series. Highlighting stories from around the world different walks of life. It is very captivating and makes my commute more fun. I highly recommend it.

Saadia Khan has taken on the most universal of stories, that have somehow become margenalized in the US today. The courage of immigrants to find a new life, to negotiate new cultures, to both hold on to one's self, and allow for new influences, is captured so beautifully in these interviews. These are human stories and Saadia is creating a treasure trove of individual courage and human resiliance.

Spirited, empathetic and sincere. This podcast shares the real life day to day stories, realizations, accomplishments and challenges faced by today’s US immigrants . Reflective and exuberant, Saadia involves each of her talented speaker to bring to life a unique story or perspective. The sincere efforts of connecting different cultures and bringing people of all communities together through this platform are surely commendable!

Saadia is a great host whose insightful and thoughtful questions posed to American immigrants give hope and voice to their personal struggles and triumphs during their individual journeys. The whole world is experiencing a horrifying and hostile attitude towards immigration and we need more platforms like The Alien Chronicles to share those important life life changing stories. Well don’t Saadia! Bravo!!! Keep up the good work!

These interviews really talk to the heart of the some of the issues immigrants face as well tares down the stereotypes we are always bombarded with in social media. It’s really beautiful to see this. I started listening because of a challenge from my poly Sci teacher here in SF and I am so addicted! Love it! Thanks!

What an amazing contribution this podcast is making to the national conversation on immigration and to enriching our world with these beautiful, poignant, fascinating, insightful and brave immigration stories. Saadia is a deeply intelligent, engaging and all around fabulous host, and her guests have just astounded me with the breadth of their experiences, achievements and insights. I love hearing the diversity of voices, accents, and perspectives on this podcast. It is a truly unique creation, and our society needs it. Bravo Saadia!

Wonderful podcast highlighting the struggles, experiences sometimes good some not so good of people from all walks of life and cultures trying to amalgamate in the country we all love and our familiar with as the melting pot of the United States if America . Sometimes we forget to connect to people at a personal level and this podcast shares exactly that ... looking at things on a micro level for the individuals perspective . Immigrants add color and flavor to this land of opportunity as we all know it . Great effort !

Wonderful idea for a podcast and so important, especially in the current political climate. It’s a safe space for immigrants to share their stories. Saadia’s graceful yet challenging guidance provides the listener with a thought provoking experience.

This is a very interesting podcast. We get to hear about the experiences of people who moves to the US from all over the world. I really enjoy listening to this :)

Recording this podcast was so much fun but it's even better to see everything put together like this. It sounds amazing! It's definitely worth a listen.

This podcast is amazing! Very interesting and insightful. As an immigrant myself, this podcast really has a place in my heart. definitely recommend!

Each episode transports you to a different part of the world as you accompany each guest on their journey to America. We learn about different cultures, cuisines, customs and the shared love they all feel for their new home in America. The host makes her guests feel comfortable and open up about their lives sharing their joys and fears.

Saadia is very knowledgeable and chooses great guests. Her podcast is very unique. Must listen.

The interviews gave me so many insights for reflection. Is there anything more relevant than looking at the beautiful diversity of experiences around us, and feel we all share something?

I'm going to be a little biased, having been a guest on the show, but it was really a pleasure. Saadia asks thoughtful questions, gives her guests time to tell their stories without rushing them, and most importantly, she is covering a topic that we really need to be highlighting as much as possible in an age where xenophbia and anti-immigrant sentiment appear to be surging. Immigrants make America and other nations great. One of the most effective ways to make that point is to simply let immigrants speak for themselves. Thank you for providing that platform with this show!

Raw, honest, poignant and entertaining ! Well done approach to bringing the voices of diverse backgrounds sharing many common experiences and emotions. A brilliant reminder that we are all more alike than different ! Keep up the good work Saadia!

Alien Chronicles is an amazing podcast focused on stories of immigrants in the United States. It gives a voice to diversity around us. Each week a guest is introduced who narrates stories of his or her culture and traditions, and the journey they undertook to become part of the fabric of American society. The podcast is beautifully done and something I look forward to each week.

Honest, heartwarming, engaging and insightful discussion on what it was like for a child to immigrate to America in the 90s!! Looking forward to hearing more!
