Colin Deeds - The Border: Binational Problems, Binational Solutions
Historian and anthropologist Carlos Vélez- Ibáñez famously stated that the U.S.-Mexico border is only two grandmothers old. Those grandmothers would recognize many things about the 21st century border, but other aspects would seem as strange to them as the technology, slang, and styles of their great-great-grandchildren. Yet the border is, as Gloria Anzaldúa and Homi Bhabha have both written, a third space unto itself, not fully of either country, but fully participating in both cultures, lifeways, economies, histories, foodways, and facing the shared challenges that arrive from distant capitals. Jennifer Jenkins talks in this episode with Colin Deeds, a lifelong Arizona resident and longtime interpreter of the U.S., Mexico. He holds degrees in anthropology and Latin American studies from the University of Arizona and has studied in Argentina, worked as an archaeologist for the National Park Service, and has conducted research in Mexico on politics and migration for many years. Colin is the Assistant Director and Director of Graduate Studies in the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona.

Liliana López Ruelas: Building Community in Tucson´s News Desert
On April 25, 2023, a phone call from an out-of-state number ended La Estrella de Tucson, leaving the city without a Spanish-language newspaper. For Liliana López Ruelas, who had spent years as an editor there, it was a moment of frustration—but also of determination. Host Carlos Quintero speaks with Liliana about what happened next: a return to school, a master's degree at the University of Arizona, and the launch of Somos Tucson, a digital news outlet focused on serving Tucson's Latino community with útil, celebratory journalism. Born in Douglas and raised in Agua Prieta, Liliana shares her journey across borders, from Mexico City's political magazines to Tucson's newsrooms, and why she now embraces her identity as a Latina journalist. This is a conversation about community journalism, collaborative resistance, and the power of staying close to the stories that matter most.

Erica Franco: La Estrella Bakery and the Art of Baking Belonging
Since 1986, La Estrella Bakery has been much more than a place to buy pan dulce, it’s been a pillar of Tucson’s cultural life, a space of ritual, memory, and early morning conversations over conchitas and cuernitos. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage month, host Carlos Quintero speaks with Erica Franco, second-generation member of the family behind La Estrella, about what it means to carry on a tradition baked in love, community, and resilience. Erica shares stories of 3 a.m. baking shifts, drawings from kindergarten fans, and the return to the barrio bakery where it all began. This is a conversation about food, but also about family, belonging, and the quiet power of staying close to your roots.
