News Media y Nosotros

On this episode, we are joined by Gabriela Fresquez, a Mexican-American hyphenated: actor, writer, television host and stand up comedian. Most recently, she wrote, produced and hosted Telemundo’s first-of-its-kind English language news show, Radar, with the tagline, “Not Your Abuela’s News Show.” We talk about the evolving world of News Media generally, but especially when it comes to speaking to younger generations and the difficult task of connecting with broad Latinx communities that we always say, are NOT a monolith.  It’s a great conversation that talks about nuance, the use of humor and connection in sharing information, and what we’re hopeful about when it comes to our and future generations.  You can find Gabriela Fresquez on Instagram and Twitter and watch her show Radar on Youtube!  Lastly, before we get into our interview, we acknowledge the heartbreaking leaked brief that indicated that the SCOTUS is looking to roll back Roe v. Wade. We will be discussing this in a future episode but had to address the pain and anger we are all collectively feeling right now.  Tamarindo podcast is the Latinx show where hosts discuss politics, pop culture, and how to balance it all con calma, hosted by Brenda Gonzalez and Ana Sheila Victorino.
