The podcast is hosted by Ran Harnevo - former founder/CEO of 5min (sold to Aol for $65M), and Aol's President of video. Ran moved to NYC 10 years ago from Israel, and is now the co-founder and CEO of Homeis - a new startup building digital Culture Networks for local foreign born communities.  

Each podcast is a non-formal conversation between Ra  and a world-renowned guest touching on the topics of immigration, its culture, family, identity and the dual notion of home. It’s about leaving one’s comfort zone and starting a new journey as foreign-born in a completely new place. 

Accent sheds light on both the differences between each journey - symbolized by the different accents - and the universal dimension of being an immigrant.
