  • Appreciate you, but why?

    I listen to this podcast weekly. It has been a place of education and identification for me. Which is why do you let Coca Cola be a sponsor? I don't have to tell you about the horrible things their cast amounts of $ goes to fund? MAGA genocide ice etc. why?

  • TOO MANY ADS

    I loved this podcast for years, since 2017. But the recent changes have forced me to unfollow LatinoUSA. Their ads take up over 30% of content. The latest episode was 33% ads and the episode before that was 29% ads. This podcast is now trash
