Customer Reviews
Esq.
This is a highly intelligent, in-debth and yet fast-paced discussion of politics by a diverse panel. Strongly recommended.
Diversity and Politics! Where Have You Been?
Leave it to Maria Hinojosa to pull together a podcast that brings these issues together organically. She and her team are smart, insightful and I learned something in each of these episodes. I subscribed. Hope you do too.
Some flavor up in politics
Great journalist discussing the 2016 election with depth, insight and nuance. A diverse group I can relate to, and if you're a fan of Latino USA, you will too.
