Snooz is the new podcast that helps real people create action plans to face their fears, achieve their dreams and reach their goals. Tune in every week to hear host magan tan and the snooz squad share advice on how to stop putting off the things that matter to you. We have been talking about the way comedy can impact and shape the way that we think about immigration with comedia and mave higgins. And here's another clip from mave's ted talk: Emigrants are actually less likely to commit crime than people that are born here in the us.

On a list of the least funny topics imaginable, the global refugee crisis, border disputes, and questions of citizenships are probably close to the top. And yet comedian Maeve Higgins has spent her career finding ways to make jokes about (and make sense of) the ways we draw lines across the globe. She’s a standup and a writer who speaks from the point of view of an Irish immigrant in the United States. In this episode, she talks about ways we can find funny and eye-opening vantage points to look at the realities and borders of the world, our place in it, and how imagination and laughter can help us through tough times.
