Does voting make a difference? We speak to two immigrants to the US. One is planning to vote this year. The other is not. They both explain why. Also, a writer with something to reveal about her father; a Liberian refugee who feels safer in Liberia than in the US, and a visit to an American summer camp where the campers speak Russian. Plus, a chestnut pastry recipe so good it changed one woman’s life. With special guest, Marjolijn deJager, host Marco Werman’s mum.
