Summary: A conversation with Dr. Ryan Pennington, director of the Refugee Language Project (refugeelanguage.org). Pennington, a linguist, moved to Amarillo after serving as a Bible translator in Papua New Guinea. Here he discovered a huge refugee population—and set about trying to remove the barriers that kept these residents from success. He and Jason Boyett talk about Pennington's culture shock and how West Texans and Somalis are alike. This episode is sponsored by Wieck Realty (wieckrealty.com).
