Failed Pitbull impersonator Ismael Reyes--you can call him Izzy--might not be the Scarface type, but why should that keep him from trying? Growing up in Miami has shaped him into someone who dreams of being the King of the 305, with the money, power, and respect he assumes comes with it. After finding himself at the mercy of a cease-and-desist letter from Pitbull's legal team and living in his aunt's garage-turned-efficiency, Izzy embarks on an absurd quest to turn himself into a modern-day Tony Montana. When Izzy's efforts lead him to the tank that houses Lolita, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium, she proves just how powerful she and the water surrounding her really are--permeating everything from Miami's sinking streets to Izzy's memories to the very heart of the novel itself. What begins as Izzy's story turns into a super-saturated fever dream as sprawling and surreal as the Magic City, one as sharp as an iguana's claws, and as menacing as a killer whale's teeth. As the truth surrounding Izzy's boyhood escape from Cuba surfaces, the novel reckons with the forces of nature, with the limits and absence of love, and with the dangers of pursuing a tragic inheritance. Wildly narrated and expertly rendered, Say Hello to My Little Friend (Simon and Schuster, 2024) is Jennine Capó Crucet's most daring, heartbreaking, and fearless book yet.

In this special collaboration with Latino USA, Maria and Julio are joined by Sonja Diaz, founding director of the Latino Policy & Politics Institute at UCLA, and Jazmine Ulloa, national politics reporter for the New York Times, to talk about the complexity of Latino voters ahead of the midterm elections. They get into what they are hearing from voters on the ground, and the key races we should be keeping an eye on. ITT Staff Picks: Suzanne Gamboa writes about the “erosion of Latino voter support” for Republicans following the overturn of Roe v. Wade, for NBC Latino. In this piece for The Atlantic, Ronald Brownstein examines whether we're seeing a lasting realignment of Latinos toward the Republican Party. “But what is most striking is that Ms. Flores won by shunning moderates, embracing the far right and wearing her support for Donald J. Trump on her sleeve — more Marjorie Taylor Greene than Kay Bailey Hutchison,” writes Jennifer Medina in this piece for The New York Times.  Photo credit: AP Photo/Eric Gray, File

On this episode of Moneda Moves in partnership with adidas, we are speaking with Mario Argote, Chief Marketing Officer of Up2Us Sports, helping bring sports to underprivileged communities. He calls it a gateway to further opportunities. Opportunities like new skills, networks, and mindset. And it's especially a game-changer for those who don't have access today. Sports are a big part of US popular culture and can be a formative part of our children's education curriculum. But whether or not they have the privilege to partake largely depends on a variety of factors -- among them related to money. More than 80 percent of children from higher-income families participate in sports. Meanwhile, less than 60 percent of children from lower-income families, making less than $30,000 a year, take part -- that's according to the Pew Research Center. And that comes as little surprise, given that schools serving a high percentage of students in poverty are less likely to offer sports. Up2Us Sports, which is sponsored by adidas, is a nonprofit on a mission to address these socioeconomic disparities, often taking place in people of color communities. Today, we discuss how the organization is providing solutions with bodies in these neighborhoods -- and we hear from a Up2Us Sports Sports Coach, Diana Luna, and Up2Us Sports VISTA volunteer, Emily Murtaugh, helping programs run more efficiently. We speak about the impact these volunteers have on kids in areas of need, how the program impacts their professional advancement and how they facilitate connection through community.

Paul J. Angelo, fellow for Latin America Studies at CFR, and Carmen Sesin, Miami-based NBCNews.com and NBCLatino reporter, sit down with James M. Lindsay to discuss the historic protests that swept across Cuba and the around the globe.

This week's episode of the ¿Quién Tú Eres? podcast is with @projectenye. The episode is dropping Tuesday morning. For now, here's a quick bio... After going from a stay-at-home-mom to award-winning activist filmmaker, Top 100 podcaster and to sought-after Fortune 500 speaker, Denise Soler Cox uses her experience to transform lives through storytelling. In 2014 she Co-Founded Project Eñye a multimedia production company whose purpose is to transform how we think about culture, identity and what it means to belong. NBC Latino calls Denise “A Voice For 1st-Gen Latinos.” In September 2020 Denise was recognized as a “Featured Host” by Apple Podcast North America for her podcast “The Self-ish Latina'' which has listeners in 32 countries. Denise has been invited to speak on over 150 stages including two TEDx talks and has worked with some of the world's most recognized brands like Microsoft, Facebook, LinkedIn, JP Morgan Chase, Salesforce, Procter & Gamble, Dow Jones, Eli Lilly, Starbucks and VaynerMedia to name a few.

Hoy en Día a Día, comenzamos conversando con la corresponsal internacional jefe de la BBC, Lyse Doucet, quien nos habló sobre la situación en Afganistán ante el retiro de las tropas de EE.UU el próximo 11 de septiembre: “El Afganistán de hoy es un muy distinto al de 20 años atrás… Hoy las niñas van a la escuela, hay un Parlamento electo y hay mejoras en la vida del pueblo afgano”, comentó. La periodista señaló que “Los riesgos de una guerra civil son muy altos, porque Afganistán es uno de los países más violentos en el mundo… Los talibanes siguen en el país, y podrían retomar el poder”. El director ejecutivo de la organización Espacio Público, Carlos Correa, nos habló sobre la regulación del Estado que ordena a todas las ONG a registrar los datos de sus actividades: “Las organizaciones de la sociedad civil venezolana están inscritas en los registros, rinden anualmente sus cuentas y están sujetas a todas las normas de cualquier organización que se dé en el país… Hay una dinámica en la que se pretende castigar y golpear al sector cívico venezolano”, explicó, y añadió que “Algunas organizaciones no van a entregar la información”. Desde Miami nos atendió Carmen Sesín, reportera de NBCNews y NBC Latino, quien nos habló sobre la situación en Cuba después de que Raúl Castro abandonara su liderazgo del Partido Comunista: “No es la primera vez que ocurre un cambio en el mando de Cuba. Hace 3 años, Castro la dio el poder de presidente a Díaz-Canel, y las cosas no han cambiado mucho”, señaló. También mencionó que “Con la crisis económica que existe ahora, las personas quieren un cambio rápido… Pero hasta que no se resuelva la pandemia y el turismo no llegue a lo que era antes, Cuba no tiene solución para su situación económica”. Con Emilio Viano, analista de política internacional, abordamos el tema de las sanciones impuestas por Estados Unidos a Rusia: “Trump siempre se rehusó de acusar formalmente a Rusia y Putin de estas acciones contra los intereses de EE.UU… Biden quiere presentarse frente al pueblo norteamericano y la comunidad internacional, como alguien que defiende los intereses de EE.UU”, explicó Viano. Javier Tarazona, director de FundaREDES, nos habló sobre la situación del conflicto con las FARC en territorio venezolano: “Ayer hicimos públicos videos e imágenes de sobrevuelo de aviones en todo el estado Apure. La población está aterrorizada… El ejército venezolano se desprofesionalizó, ahora es una fuerza pretoriana y el poder de fuego de este grupo terrorista en Venezuela, es muy alto”, dijo. Y para cerrar, el corresponsal de la agencia EFE en México, Pedro Pablo Cortés, nos habló sobre el proceso de legalización de la marihuana en México: “La marihuana ya es legal para la salud desde el 2016… Ahora se está discutiendo una reforma que crea la ‘Ley Federal para la Regulación del Cannabis’, y con la misma México se convertiría en el tercer país de todo el mundo en regular todos los usos de la marihuana”, nos contó.

This week, Doug Stephens speaks with Kalkidan Legesse and Robert Hoppenheim about the imperative for fashion to take responsibility for the people it impacts.   The pandemic’s economic impact is radically changing the retail landscape, but for fashion, the fallout is not just financial. The crisis has amplified anger over racial injustice and financial inequality among consumers and employees, redoubling pressure on brands to adjust their operations to serve both shareholders and the greater good. Increasingly, companies must respond to demands for change from outside the boardroom. In this week’s podcast, retail columnist Doug Stephens discusses how the fashion industry must address the systemic inequality and racism buried in its supply chain with the co-founder of UK-based ethical brand and retailer Sancho’s, Kalkidan Legesse, and the founder of brand strategy and communications advisory Kindustry, Robert Hoppenheim.   External clips courtesy of BBC, NBC Latino,  and CGTN.    Related Articles: Retailers Pledged Action on Diversity.

It seems Latinos are under attack from all sides these days. The White House thinks we're animals, Starbucks calls us beaners and some pendejo racist lawyer in New York City just can't bear to hear the loveliness that is Castellano — unless, of course, it's in his law practice. There you can spic it up to your hearts content. All billable hours, ya know. Be sure to hold onto to something sturdy because Mike Robles and Pedro Rafael Rosado are ready to shake the foundation!

Amara La Negra has spent her entire life in show business and she is singularly focused on becoming the LatinX equivalent of Beyoncé. The breakout star of VH1's 'Love and Hip Hop Miami' spoke to us just before the debut of the new reality series and she was candid about her struggles and her passion for performing. Also on the episode, Mike and Pedro discuss Kanye West's latest controversial comments, Michelle Wolf's performance at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and flying chanclas in San Antonio.

On Episode 18, the crew leads off with a quick LOL Correspondent’s Dinner where Jaime does some light roasting of Rachel, Frank and Juan Bago. This leads to a conversation about the reaction to Michelle Wolf’s performance at the actual White House Correspondent’s Dinner and whether she went too far with her jokes. The crew also talks about #oldheadshotday where all of social media decided to dust off their early headshots and post them on Instagram. Rachel explains the subtle changes she can notice in each of her headshots through the years and Frank reveals the bombshell that Juan Bago used to model back in the day. Rachel and Jaime also recap how it felt having the first Room 28 Comedy rehearsal since Bago left the group. On this week’s “Bochinche Bites”, Jaime breaks down the epic Sprint-T-MOBILE merger, talks about 7-Eleven’s plan to get rid of loiterers, and explains why Apple’s Siri has such a dirty mouth. “Frankspiracy News” Frank talks about how Chinese companies are picking their employees brains with mind reading devices. Bago, Rachel and Jaime play a game called “Spoken Word Up!” where they have to come up with closing lines to special guest Flaco Navaja’s spoken word poetry. The winner of this competition receives two tickets to Flaco’s upcoming show, “Evolution of a Sonero,” playing at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre May 10th-12th.

Mike and Pedro have returned from the wilderness and are prepared to drop all-new episodes of the show. We are fully aware that we angered a lot of people in previous installments, and we'd like to say we won't do that anymore, but the truth is even in this brief conversation we probably offended one or more of you out there. We just can't help it. Saddle up vaqueros cuz...WE'RE BACK!

In this special live show recorded at New York University, Hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela lead a discussion on DACA, the DREAM Act, and the future for undocumented immigrants with Cristina Jiménez, Executive Director of United We Dream (who was recently named a MacArthur Genius), and Sandra Lilley, Managing Editor of NBC Latino. Plus, we hear from Viviana Gonzalez, a student at NYU and co-director of Policy for the NYU Dream Team, an NYU organization that supports and advocates for undocumented students and their families.

On this week's episode, we are psyched to have Andres and Barbara Muschetti, the Argentinian siblings who directed and produced, respectively, the #1 movie currently in America - the horror film “IT”. We discuss how “IT” draws parallels to the Trump administration and the current state of the country, the reason they didn’t cast a Latino kid actor and what Guillermo del Toro texted them on opening weekend.  Did you guys hear about this BODEGA thing that went viral this week? We talk to two woman, one who wrote the article, Liz Segran, and she tells us her reaction of her story going viral and the passionate people of all cultures who went in defense of bodegas. Then we chat with Jessica Ramos, the Director of Latino Media for NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, who chimes in on the cultural significance bodegas have with New Yorkers. Diego del Sol curates some out of this world music for us and we end the show with Sandra Lilley, Managing Editor of NBCLatino.com. She calls in to give us the exclusive on their first BIG list - the "NBCLatino20". Who made the list? Make sure you don't miss it.

Puerto Rico voted overwhelmingly for Statehood on Sunday, but with only 23% turnout. Many Puerto Ricans boycotted the vote because they continue to be overlooked by the U.S. government. So, what’s the best way forward? Working within the system? Or breaking it? Hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela lead a discussion with Sandra Lilley, Managing Editor of NBC Latino, and Frances Robles, reporter for the New York Times.

A full house on Latino Rebels Radio. Donald Trump has talked about registering and tracing Muslims living across the United States. Immigration attorney Matthew Kolken joins us to discuss the legalities of such a registry as well as where we have seen this before. There was a lot of talk about the importance of the Latino vote in the 2016 presidential election and many Latinos voted for Trump despite his anti-Latino stances for most of his campaign. NBC Latino contributor Stephen Nuño breaks down the myths and facts surrounding this topic. Finally, we talk with Leslie Otañez, Campaign Program Associate from the Drug Policy Action. Leslie talks to us about Proposition 64, which legalized recreational marijuana in California.

This election season, it’s been hard to break out of Donald Trump’s orbit. The last few weeks, we’ve been dissecting all of Trump’s mistakes, so this week, we take on Hillary Clinton, specifically her stance on criminal justice reform. We also respond to some viewer criticism and discuss how we can cover this election as responsible journalists.

This week, tennis player Monica Puig won Puerto Rico’s first ever gold medal—which has led many to wonder, why does Puerto Rico have its own Olympians, if it’s part of the US? In short: it’s complicated.  Maria Hinojosa leads a discussion about the almost unbelievably complex relationship between Puerto Rico and the US with guests Sandra Lilley, Managing Editor of NBC Latino, Natascha Otero, a leader of South Florida’s chapter of the National Puerto Rican Agenda, and Julio Ricardo Varela, Political Editor for the Futuro Media Group.

Her show was unceremoniously canceled by the ABC Broadcasting Network and Cristela Alonzo was understandably upset. It didn’t help matters that she was forced to deal with trolls hurling insults at her on Twitter. In a long and emotional blog post, the comedian laid bare how she felt about the lack of support her self-titled sitcom … Continue reading Stay Strong Cristela Alonzo →

It was a dramatic scene. Marilyn Mosby stood at a podium festooned with microphones that also sported a large emblem emblazoned with the scales of justice and the words “Office of the State’s Attorney for Baltimore City”. She was there to announce charges of manslaughter and assault against 6 police officers accused of murdering 25 year old Freddie Gray. Ms. Mosby was … Continue reading Boxers, Politicians, and ‘Thugs’. Oh My! →

I never gave the devastation surrounding me as a kid a second thought. It seemed perfectly natural to have abandoned buildings and rubble strewn lots as playgrounds. The idea that I was living in a blighted and dangerous ghetto that could easily pass for any number of ruined European cities during World War II never once dawned … Continue reading Will ‘The Get Down’ on Netflix Be a Huge Letdown For Latinos? →

Mexico really does get blamed for everything. Ebola? It’s flooding into the U.S. from our southern border. Terrorism? Apparently ISIS, Al Qaeda and even the Houthi militants are streaming over from down Mexico way by the hundreds as I type this. Illegal drugs, guns, and undocumented aliens? Check, check and check. Presidential hopeful Ted Cruz? Yeah, … Continue reading Don’t Blame Mexico For Ted Cruz, Blame Canada →

‘The Real’ is a bland, vacuous syndicated talk show broadcast primarily on Fox affiliates and is hosted by five women of color. (Sad that a decade and a half into the 21st century this is still something so unique we see it as a triumph but we’ll take it). Finally a show that refuses to perpetuate negative stereotypes but instead … Continue reading Next On ‘The Real’: Brownface Minstrelsy →

Despite the long relationship the U.S. has enjoyed with the “Enchantress of the Caribbean”, Puerto Rico and its residents on the island and on the mainland remain a mystery to other Americans. As a public service, Robles & Rosado will help clear up any confusion for you and save you the time and exertion necessary to Google the … Continue reading Remember Folks, Puerto Rico Is America →

Longtime listeners know we catch a lot of heat for some of the things we say on the show and post on the blog. In an effort to be proactive, and in the interest of saving our time and yours, we offer this generic blanket statement to all Latin@s who feel an apology is more … Continue reading RR 24: Apologies Are Not Nearly Enough →

For this episode Mike and I revisit some of our favorite moments—and yours—from the first season of Robles & Rosado.  We hope you join us again in 2015 for more of our unique mix of humor and commentary. Wishing you all good health, happiness, and success!

Science has finally caught up to the fact that Robles and Rosado are almost perfect specimens of humanity. Don’t believe me? Just ask Lior Pachter, a UC Berkeley biologist. Mr. Pachter published a DNA study recently suggesting that “perfect humans” are most likely to be Puerto Rican. He also reveals that the “perfect human” may have been female … Continue reading RR 22: Cuba (Not Quite) Libre and Perfect Puerto Ricans →

All this time we were aiming to be your garden variety troublemakers. During our interview with social entrepreneur and Latino community leader Elianne Ramos, Mike and I were confronted with the shocking revelation that we are both social media influencers. When a nationally recognized expert and one of the most influential Latinas in social media tells you you are … Continue reading RR 20: Social Media Powerhouse, Elianne Ramos →

This week we present a special edition of the Robles & Rosado experience. Our own Mike Robles interviews Tejano music superstar, the incomparable Stefani Montiel. Stefani Montiel recorded her full-length album debut at age nine and has gone on to earn six Grammy nominations over an illustrious career. Stefani’s latest album, Paraíso, continues her exploration into new musical territory while not … Continue reading RR Bonus: Tejano Music Superstar Stefani Montiel →

One of the best shows in television history ended one year ago this week when AMC aired the final episode of ‘Breaking Bad’, the critically acclaimed operatic crime drama set in  New Mexico. In honor of that anniversary actor, comic, and Albuquerque  native Steven Michael Quezada, who played DEA Agent Steven Gomez, joins us to … Continue reading RR 18: Steven Michael Quezada Never Broke Bad →

Rick Najera is not an activist. That’s not a shot at the actor-writer-director-producer and he’ll be the first to tell you. Rick is a man who is unafraid to speak his mind and is an artist who is pointing out the reality and vagaries of the Latino experience in America. Also a  playwright, a professional speaker and an … Continue reading RR 17: The Unforced Confessions of Rick Najera →

Rosie Perez is from old-school Brooklyn.  Not this new hipsterville nonsense they got going on there these days but the real-deal Brooklyn. She’s from the Brooklyn where you speak your mind and were always ready to defend your point of view. Ms. Perez will bring that old school Brooklyn sensibility to ABC Television’s long running talk … Continue reading RR 16: ‘The View’ Joins Team Rosie →

This week we present a special episode of our show and feature a very special guest. Mike and I had the very distinct honor and pleasure of a visit from comedian and actor Carlos Mencia. For the few of you reading this who don’t know who he is, Carlos Mencia is one of today’s most … Continue reading RR 15: Carlos Mencia Will Blow Your Mind →

We’d like to give Phil Griffin the benefit of the doubt and we desperately want to believe he wasn’t as insulting in person as he came across in pixels. In reports from the annual convention of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists about his apology for this year’s Cinco de Mayo on-air racist shenanigans, the president of MSNBC sounded smug and … Continue reading RR 14: MSNBC Keeps Getting It Wrong →

Let’s play a game of “Fantasy Or Reality”.  I’ll offer up a scenario and you, dear reader, will decide if it really happened or whether I’m just spinning a fanciful tale. Here we go. The United States once accepted thousands of unaccompanied minors from Latin America and provided shelter and care in over 100 cities … Continue reading RR 13: Immigrant Archives and Hateful Tweets →

It was always a source of pride for many of us growing up, especially in the rough and tumble immigrant-heavy Bronx neighborhoods where I spent my formative years. I’ll bet almost everyone reading this can recite the last few lines of Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus”. You know, the one about giving us your tired and poor? Your … Continue reading RR 12: Yearning To Be Free? Not So Fast… →

Puto. It’s an ugly word to some. Ugly enough for FIFA to consider penalizing the team representing  Mexico at the World Cup because their fans chant it during matches in Brazil. Redskins. It’s an ugly word to some. Ugly enough for the United States Patent and Trademark Office to rescind federal trademark protections for the Washington Redskins (American) football team. … Continue reading RR 11: Sports, Baking and Political Correctness Possibly Run Amok →

Robles and Rosado are running a fever… a FIFA World Cup fever! Okay, that might be a huge overstatement as both Mike and I don’t even know what countries have actually qualified for the tournament. We do know that millions of people across the globe are besides themselves with anticipation for the quadrennial football extravaganza … Continue reading RR 10: FIFA World Cup Fever, Tackling Race in Comedy, and the Stereotype Game →

That was the rallying cry of the current president of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Hugo Balta, as he and representatives of his organization took to Twitter to insult and belittle Robles & Rosado. They don’t like that we’re  keeping up the pressure on them for their refusal to answer questions about what plans they … Continue reading RR 09: No Invite, No Chorizo, No Peace! →

I was going to link to a clip of MSNBC “Way Too Early” anchor Thomas Roberts and producer and correspondent Louis Burgdorf torpedoing their reputations as serious journalists with their insipid Cinco de Mayo antics but I refused to harsh my mellow so instead I’ll post their apology: I wonder how long that Burgdorf kid had to … Continue reading RR 08: Feeling Like a Piñata at a KKK Rally →

What do Antonio Banderas, Eva Mendes, Cameron Diaz, Enrique Iglesias, Roselyn Sanchez and John Leguizamo have in common? Well, we know they are all Hispanic but did you know all of their significant others are white?  It’s almost a cliche these days but it seems that as soon as a Latino becomes a success in Hollywood they … Continue reading RR 07: I’m Latino and Successful. So Where the White Women At? →

According to reports Latinos are faring better financially than Blacks in the United States but in the race for income equality both minority groups have a long way to go to close the gap against Whites. A Santa Ana, California school cop puts crying teen in a choke-hold, then yells at witnesses to stop speaking Spanish. … Continue reading RR 06: The Bromance Continues →

The root verb of “Chingon” is a vulgarity but Mexicans understand most variations of the word to mean “badass”.  Pizza Patrón, a Texas-based restaurant chain that sells pizzas marketed toward Mexicans, is crying foul over what they feel is censorship as radio networks in the Lone Star state refuse to air ads for their new … Continue reading RR 05: 2 Million Deportations? Blame Thalia… →

Did you catch the Cohetes game last night?  What about the Espuelas? The Toros? NBA’s Latin Night promotion is front and center on Mike’s mind. While the professional basketball league claims it is addressing a need and owning up to its responsibilities to the Latino community Mike believes it’s really just all about the Benjamins. … Continue reading RR 04: Hey NBA, Just Feed Latinos the Rock →

Have you ever noticed what happens when you toss a single live crab into a bucket that has no lid?  The crab will kick itself into survival mode and climb out.  Now, what happens when you put more than one crab into the same bucket?  If one of the crustaceans makes an escape attempt the … Continue reading RR 03: Crabs In A Bucket Con Salsa →

Oh, and you too Mario Lopez. Your great physiques and smoldering good looks have raised the bar impossibly high for regular Jose’s like me and Mike Robles — and we resent it. In this episode we touch on many subjects but our focus is on how celebrities like Jennifer Lopez continue to perpetuate the “White Savior” … Continue reading RR 02: Thanks For Nothing William Levy →

In this new web radio series Emmy winning comedian Mike Robles and radio host and journalist Pedro Rafael Rosado give you their humorous, unique, and occasionally controversial take on the Latino Experience.  The focus in this inaugural episode is on the growing clamor from social media savvy bloggers calling for equal Latino representation on U.S. … Continue reading RR 01: Doing It For Ourselves →
