A year after COVID-19 first shut down the United States, Latino USA looks at how the pandemic has changed the lives of Latinos across the country. We’ll check in with a domestic worker in Chicago who has lost work because of the pandemic. We'll visit a Honduran family living in Mexico after they tried asking for asylum in the U.S., but were turned away. We’ll go to the South Bronx to hear how one family saved their restaurant by turning it into a mutual aid soup kitchen. And we’ll hear from a priest in Texas who is helping his community heal from a year of tremendous loss.

Tune into Latino USA for a sound-rich journey into the heart of diverse communities. This long-running podcast, presented by INOMZU, moves beyond headlines to share intimate stories and nuanced conversations that define the contemporary Latino experience. Each episode feels like a thoughtful conversation, weaving together personal narratives with broader cultural analysis. You’ll hear from artists, activists, everyday people, and thinkers exploring how identity is lived at the intersection of tradition and innovation. The discussions naturally delve into how social movements, political shifts, and artistic expressions are shaping not only Latino lives but the entire fabric of the nation. It’s a vital listen for anyone interested in the dynamic forces of society and culture, presented with depth and authenticity. Through its careful storytelling, this podcast provides a unique auditory lens on the evolving ideas and shared realities that connect past, present, and future.
