Feet in 2 Worlds is back with our newest podcast series, The Hustle. On The Hustle, we share stories about the ways immigrants navigate a changing economy — today and throughout history.
The Hustle is a podcast series about the ways immigrants navigate a changing economy — today and throughout history.
Each episode of The Hustle dives into a specific industry or moment in history when immigrant workers demanded changes during economic, social, and political shifts. These stories explore both the triumphs and tragedies of their attempts to stand up to big industries and fight for better pay and working conditions. The series will feature stories from Denver, San Antonio, Chicago, Wyoming, and New York.
We’ll explore questions such as: how are immigrants navigating their need to work and an economy that relies on their labor when anti-immigrant policies are targeting them directly? Can immigrants participate in NYC’s recently legalized recreational cannabis industry? What does justice look like for the descendants of the 1885 massacre of Chinese railroad workers? What policies are needed to protect home healthcare workers today?
The series premieres on April 22, 2025.
The Hustle is conceptualized and edited by Feet in 2 Worlds Editorial Fellow Lushik Lotus-Lee. The series is hosted by Shaka Tafari, and contributing producers to the series include journalists who trace their roots to China, Jamaica, Italy, Peru, Colombia, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Japan.
Feet in 2 Worlds’ The Hustle can be found on all major distribution platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Castbox, Pocket Casts, and Spotify.
Feet in 2 Worlds is supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, The Ford Foundation, the Fernandez Pave the Way Foundation, an anonymous donor, and contributors to our annual NewsMatch campaign.
