[S6E1] What Do You Know About Refugees?

Are you smarter than a college student (about the refugee crisis)? We talked to students at the University of South Carolina about some of the basics of the refugee landscape today: from UNHCR regulations to Columbia's refugee population to where they see refugee-related news. Listen along and learn something new along with us. Or maybe you already know more than we did! Let us know either way.
