Our English-language programming

    • The show brings listeners to the table for a lively and thoughtful conversation about the issues, culture, and stories shaping Latino communities in Utah and beyond. Each episode opens with a casual catch-up between the hosts—like friends gathering around a table—reflecting on what’s happening in their lives while putting major headlines into context, from local developments to national and international news.
    • The middle segments dive deeper into key topics affecting the community. Early episodes will explore immigration enforcement and immigrant rights in Utah, as well as air quality and food insecurity.
    • The show closes with an interview with a musician or artist. The premiere episode features Dominican-American singer-songwriter Jazzy Olivo, a powerful talent in Utah’s music scene.
