David Archuleta on Coming Out, American Idol, and Faith
In the early 2000’s David Archuleta broke into stardome on American Idol, capturing the hearts of millions. But behind the scenes he was grappling with his sexuality and faith. “I felt like if people found this out about me, they would know how dirty I was,” he told Maria Hinojosa when talking about what the Mormon Church made him feel, early on, when he began to realize he could be gay. In a new memoir, David reveals his journey to fame and how he has worked to embrace his authentic self. Listen to this intimate conversation about his journey and what his faith looks like today.

Mon Laferte & Francisca Valenzuela Speak Up About Music and Feminism
Mon Laferte and Francisca Valenzuela are both Chilean singer-songwriters using their platforms to draw attention to important issues while creating meaningful change. From Mon walking a red carpet in 2019 at the Latin Grammys, bare-breasted, with words calling out femicide, to Francisca’s founding of Ruidosafest, the all-Latina music festival and research platform, the two women are working hard to change the game. In today’s episode of Latino USA, we speak to both of them about feminism, their music, and how the ghosts of Chile’s musical past guide them to keep pushing for change.

Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Rosie Perez takes us on the journey of the birth of salsa in Nueva York and the rebellious, seductive and political label that defined it: Fania Records.

A Decade After Pulse: The Quest for Accountability
This June marks a decade since one of the worst mass shootings in U.S. history at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida. “Sometimes when I close my eyes, I see when I was on the floor on [sic] that restroom,” Jorshua Hernández Carrión, a survivor of the shooting, told us. Through an interview with Jorshua, and a review of the investigations, Latino USA unpacks the lack of accountability, and how we should honor Pulse victims and survivors. We also talk with Carl Charles, a trans attorney with Lambda Legal, about how violence against the LGBTQ+ community has taken new forms in laws and rhetoric.

Tab Ramos and the Rebirth of U.S. Soccer
When Tab Ramos’ family migrated from Uruguay as a child in the 1970s, he had no idea he’d play a role in the rebirth of U.S. soccer. “I remember telling my father at the time: out of all the countries in the world that we could move to, why do we have to move to the one that doesn't have soccer?” Tab said. But Tab became one of the best U.S. soccer players of the 1990s and played for the national team when the U.S. hosted the World Cup in 1994. In this special episode of our new podcast “American Futbol” we hear about his losses, his wins, and a cracked skull that nearly killed him.

The Game We Love
The Men’s World Cup is coming to our continent – and to this country! But what does soccer mean in the U.S.? Latino USA’s own Fernanda Echavarri asks that question in our new show “American Futbol.” We hear from immigrants all across the country for whom soccer is a touchstone, and who’ve also woven the sport into American culture and life. And we go back to the 90’s, to the very first time the World Cup came to the United States. There was Oprah, there was O.J., and it changed soccer in the U.S. forever. The first 3 episodes of “American Futbol” are where you’re listening to this podcast.
