As the 2026 World Cup is under way, Celso Thomas Castilho, an associate professor of history at Vanderbilt University, spends the hour with the LMC to discuss the forgotten history Latino activism during the 1994 World Cup and the independent Latino newspapers that documented it all.
On a special movie review episode, the LMC speaks with music producer Benjamin de Menil to discuss the new film “Agridulce” and how bachata music in the Dominican Republic can uplift young people towards a path of self-discovery.
Benjamin de Menil is also the founder of La Academia de Bachata, a free music school based in the Dominican Republic.
On this episode, the LMC welcomes back Michael Fox, the host of the Under The Shadow podcast, to discuss season two of the show and how the US invasion of Venezuela earlier this year marked the beginning of the Donroe Doctrine in Latin America.
