If you have a podcast, want to start one, or just love listening, then Elsie is the voice to follow.
Elsie is a Salvadoran podcasting mentor, thought leader, and hall-of-famer. We talk about the latino podcast audience and why it’s important to create content that reflects our communities. We also talk about the cultural and economic barriers of entry into the world of podcasting for women and immigrants.
When it comes to sports, Salvadoran athletes don’t always have the most resources or support, but what they lack in sponsorship, they make up for in heart and dedication. Joaquin tells us about his fencing journey on and off the strip, the challenges he faced as a Salvadoran and the doors he had to knock on to keep his dream alive.
¿Quién dice que el Salvador no tiene música? En los 90s, artistas rebeldes como Carlos Galicia gozaban de la escena musical surgente en los bares de San Salvador. Desde Broncco hasta Carrot y Snif, Carlos nos cuenta de la música original Salvadoreña y de la importancia de tener orgullo de nuestra propia música.
Some of us are lucky to have a mom or an abuelita to teach us how to cook food from home. For the rest of us, there’s “Delicious El Salvador,” an award-winning Salvadoran cookbook by Alicia Maher. Alicia’s mission is to preserve our culture and teach the next generation of the diaspora that our food can compete on a world stage.
When people say they’ll pursue something to the ends of the earth, it’s usually hyperbole. Not so when you’re talking to Andrea. She learned to ride a bike as an adult and loved it so much she decided to ride thousands of miles to the tip of South America. She is hoping to reach Ushuaia, also known as the end of the world.
