PRESENTE with Francisco Aviles Pino is an interview and narrative podcast showcasing California Latino stories with universal significance. Think of KQED’s The California Report and The Assignment with Audie Cornish but for CALÓ News. Each episode takes on an important ballot initiative, a major local elected seat, and all the major issues facing Latinos in California with a focus on Southern California -- representation in media, criminal justice, housing , immigration, the economy, climate justice and much more. The show breaks down these topics into 30-minute episodes that are released occasionally on Tuesdays and promoted throughout the week.
