Maggie, the first Scandinavian on the podcast, is from Sweden and first came to the UK in 2006 on a whim after her studies, like so many back in the EU free movement days.&nbsp; She landed mysteriously in Exeter and has lived there ever since. Maggie and I accompanied by her dog Cass, talked about having no plan, Maggie’s passion for spreadsheets and the best Swedish sayings.&nbsp; I Am An Immigrant is an <a href="https://iceandfire.co.uk/project/i-am-an-immigrant/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ice&amp;fire theatre</a> production hosted by Christine Bacon, edited by <a href="https://www.helenclapp.co.uk/#" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Helen Clapp</a>.

3.6 Ada: The 'japa' syndrome

Most of us have a picture in our minds when we hear the word 'immigrant'. For some it sounds like a dirty word. For others, it means someone who needs help. Or an inspiring hero making a 'contribution'. Whatever picture you conjure, this weekly interview podcast with your host Christine Bacon is here to transform that into something way more interesting. Guests are a mixture of celebrities, public figures and regular Janes and they all share the unique experience of moving across borders and making a life for themselves in the UK. Hosted on Acast.
