For this special episode of the Houses on the Moon Podcast, Amy Gottlieb (U.S. Migration Director for the American Friends Service Committee, and HOTM board member) interviews New Yorker staff writer Jonathan Blitzer about his book "Everyone Who is Gone is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis." Amy and Jonathan discuss the complex history of US-Central American relations and the themes that inspired our original documentary play and podcast series, “De Novo.”
