Amazing Armenians
This is a podcast for Western Armenian speakers and listeners that offers a glimpse into the lives and struggles of other Armenians living around the world. Each episode will profile an influential figure who has achieved respect in their professional career or has had an exceptional impact on our history or culture. Rather than profiling historical figures we will focus on the personal histories of more recent individuals whose lives have been shaped by immigration, integration and trauma. Our aim is to show the innovativeness, diversity and resilience of Armenians the world over!
