Podcast Pitch
What comes in your mind when hearing the word immigrant. Most people think of them as foreigners and that even though they come to pursue a better lifestyle for themselves and their family, they still end up supposedly taking our jobs, our tax money, and supposedly committing various crimes in the United States.If you believed in all of these things you are an ignorant person. Immigrants that come here only enhance the diversity and the overall beauty of the United States of America. Many of these immigrants help the economy, do not commit as we punish them for, and through cultural diffusion, they bring their different foods, clothes, ideas, and their different attributes here that has a profound impact on everyday life here. In my podcast, “Immigrants: Not as bad as it seems”, I will discuss how immigrants are heroes in disguise and how they are not just important, but essential to our culture, our state, and we are proud to have them in our red, white, and blue country.

Hey Muhammad, just wanted to say that after listening to a bit of your podcast, I really liked your pitch. Your pitch came off very strong compelling the listener to want to delve in and see even more so what your podcast was about and your serious tone in your voice makes your message resonate and be carried out even moreso. Impressive job Muhammad! Some of these aspects in the podcast so far is better than what I could have done.
