18. Bölüm: Trading Places - A Conversation Between a Turkish Immigrant and a Turkish Emigrant
Description

My guest this week is Erkan Çakır [prono: ehr-kahn chuh-ker] and he has done the same but from the opposite side: After growing up and finishing university in Turkey, he moved to Canada, where over the past eight years he has slowly built up a community and new sense of identity.
So in this episode, you'll hear two immigrants trade some stories about our homes -- by birth and by choice -- and what that word even means.
