In this episode of the podcast, web editor Violet Lucca speaks with Héctor Tobar,

who went on a 9,000-mile road trip across the United States to visit a variety of
Latino communities. Tobar’s reporting complicates received wisdom about what it means
to be Latino, and revels in the diversity—political and otherwise—of the identity.
