We had an extensive interview with Emmy-winning journalist Rick Sanchez. We discussed many realities and facts seldom articulated about Latinos.
Rick Sanchez did not disappoint.
PODCAST PENDING
Rick provided a lot of information about the real value of Latinos to America. What is concerning is that one would think that more in the media, especially Latinos with a platform, would have already had these in the ethos. Americans at large too often make up their minds on preconceived false notions.
Rick Sanchez is an Emmy Award-winner who was the host of the number one daytime show on CNN and the first U.S. Latino to host a national newscast (“Rick’s List”). He was canceled for a quote-on-quote mistake when describing the lack of diversity in the news media. As memes, tweets, and pundits piled on the damage of a few poorly chosen sentences, it took only hours before Sanchez’s career would come to a screeching halt. And this was before the cancel culture was in vogue.
Rick Sanchez founded and is President/CEO of Agua Media. Agua Media produces podcasts for the U.S. Latino+™ community by offering a wider angle view of conversations, storytelling, and interviews through the lens of New Mainstream Latinas and Latinos. From current events to true crime, horror, lifestyle, and humor, Agua Media also provides a much-needed platform for both podcast listeners and podcast creators who make up the New American Mainstream.
