30 Años: An Oral History of Latino USA
from Latino USA · host My Cultura, Futuro and iHeartPodcasts
Today on Latino USA, we want to pay tribute to María Emilia Martin, public radio pioneer, and our founder, by replaying the first special episode marking our show’s 30 years on the air. The episode, first aired in May 2023, is an oral history of Latino USA and features a conversation between Martin and our current co-executive producer Maria Hinojosa, whom Martin chose to be the host of Latino USA back in 1993. “María knew that by launching Latino USA, she would be impacting history in this country forever. What we could never have imagined was that just months after our first sitdown interview, to go over 30 years of Latino USA, I would be having to say goodbye to her on the air,” said Hinojosa. Martin passed away peacefully on Dec. 2 in Austin, Texas, surrounded by her family. We are forever grateful to her for her vision and look forward to continuing to honor her legacy week after week at Latino USA.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
