Lega­cies of the Chi­cano Mora­to­ri­um // It’s Been a Minute, NPR, 2020

We take it back 50 years to the Chi­cano Mora­to­ri­um in Los Ange­les on August 29, 1970. That march and ral­ly against the Viet­nam War — and the dis­pro­por­tion­ate num­ber of casu­al­ties of Mex­i­can Amer­i­cans in that war — end­ed in 200 arrests, many injuries, and three deaths, includ­ing jour­nal­ist Rubén Salazar. It’s Been a Minute pro­duc­er Andrea Gutier­rez shares a per­son­al sto­ry about it.

The Latin Explo­sion of 1999 // It’s Been a Minute, NPR, 2021

We reex­am­ine the so-called “Latin explo­sion” of the late ’90s: what it was sup­posed to be for audi­ences across the U.S., what it actu­al­ly came to rep­re­sent and how the stream­ing rev­o­lu­tion upend­ed the mul­ti-genre land­scape of Latin music. Sam Sanders co-hosts this episode with pro­duc­er Andrea Gutierrez.
