Each episode will center around a theme and feature a few Palomar ESL students sharing their experiences and insights in their own voices. If you are an ESL student, come witness the success of your peers as they showcase their ability to communicate in beautiful English. If you are an ESL teacher, you may get inspired to similarly empower your students. If you are just a member of the general public, I hope you will enjoy hearing these heart-warming stories and diverse opinions.</itunes:summary>
