Mira Listen

A podcast about politics, comida, cultura and everything in between. For Latinos, by Latinos. Mil Latino Millennials.

With the Mira Listen podcast we intend to give our bilingual, immigrant, LGBTQ, arts and culture, and activist community something for them - by them. Mira Listen is the first FOR Latino Millennials, BY Latino Millennials podcast available that speaks to the issues of our generation. We share our Latino Millennial perspective on everything from deportations and politics to movie reviews and pop-cu

lture. This to us has been something that has been on our minds for a while, but we always thought somebody would create it or open the door for the format to be explored. It's been five years of talking about it, playing with segments or talking about the lack of diversity in public media. We decided it was time to stop speculating and just do it ourselves. We, three Latino millennials, see a lack of Spanish educational, yet entertaining programming in public media. As much as we love our public media regulars, we are still finding it difficult to connect and we continue to see the absence of the young Latino voices not being represented as the narratives. { This past October, I was selected by AIR Media to attend the public media conference in Pittsburg, while it was a great honor to be selected as a scholar, being there only reiterated my thought of "where are the Latinos." I remember Shereen Marisol, from Code switch mentioning in a panel that only 3% of Latinos work at NPR. } ~Pita J
