Podcast Academy Episode 4: "The Humans of Moria" Founder

Kiki a.k.a. “Captain Alpha” was already familiar with life as a refugee when he arrived to Moria Camp in October of 2019. Long before his journey took him to Greece he had fled from his native Burundi to seek shelter in Rwanda.

One year ago Kiki started @the_humans_of_moria Instagram account to help asylum seekers on the Greek isle of Lesvos share their stories, their conditions, and their ordeals with the outside world. But now, for his first podcast episode, it’s Captain Alpha’s turn to tell his own story.

Many thanks to ReFocus Media Labs for their support in making this academy possible!

Live Panel with our Podcast Academy Students and ReFocus Media Labs

For this return to our live video broadcasts we pass the mic over to our recent Latitude Adjustment Podcast Academy graduates. Our first graduating class of asylum seekers on Lesvos worked very hard over the course of five weeks to learn about the principles and mechanics of podcasting and to bring you their first episodes. Our panel focussed on their personal stories as well as the challenges we overcame together to bring you their podcasts episodes.

All of our students are also students of ReFocus Media Labs, and ReFocus co-founders Douglas and Sonia join us and their students for a remote reunion.

You can support our GoFundMe here.
