About the Show

Category: News, Politics, Society & Culture

This podcast will focus on real issues affecting Hispanic Americans in the United States, from crime and politics to immigration, terrorism, the economy, medicine and consumer related topics as well as feature the real stories behind newsmakers, celebrities, athletes and those individuals whose tales of survival, commitment and passion drove them to succeed in life. Some of them will sound familiar to you, others will be new to you, but nonetheless, their perseverance as they pursue their dreams will hopefully leave an indelible mark on the lives of those with whom they share their journey.

I also welcome the audience’s ideas – after all, this podcast is about you…what drives you, what curves along the road have made you stronger, what life lessons have you learned that will benefit others.

It’s about paying it forward and in so doing, contributing to a better informed community.

Be part of the conversation – join me, Teresa Rodriguez, as we discuss Stories Beyond the Headlines!
