  • Too many ads

    I enjoy the content of the podcast, however the amount of ads for how long each episode is, is way too much. I feel as though we spend more time listening to ads rather than the content. I came to listen to YOU—not to be sold something every few mins. I understand that’s how you are paid, I think there should be a better balance….

  • The Ads are HORRIBLE

    I am a long time Latino USA listener (at least since 2017!). I truly value the stories told and elevated by the Futuro Studios team. However, my listening really fell off when the new ads started. I understand that the show needs to be financially stable, but if the Apple Podcast app says an episode is 28 minutes, the actual time is closer to 40 minutes because of the volume of ads. Also, many of the ads do not seem aligned with the values of the show. They really cheapen it!

  • This is not a podcast anymore, just ads!

    I used to love Latino USA. Now when I listen it’s literally half advertisements. I’ll probably stop listening as a podcast and just wait to listen on my local npr station.

  • Mexican by choice

    Maria Muchas gracias for this episode. I laughed and teared up listening to the show. It shot me like an arrow to the heart. Being a 1st generation Mexican American, I also feel I’m brown like molé but thank you for the positive push an inspiration to go become a dual citizen. Xoxo
