A Great Listen and a Timely Retelling
I really enjoyed the first season about Oscar Gomez. I’m majoring in Chicanx Studies at UC Berkeley at the moment and I find myself in a very similar situation as Oscar—having the drive to labor for the movement but not for the university. It’s a very repressive and depressive experience to be a Xicanx immersed in Chicanx Studies at an institution that is designed to exclude you, and to learn about the systems that shaped a great part of your circumstances (I.e., oppression, exclusion, precarity). It’s also very interesting to learn about internal politics within the movement then and now. Listening to the this podcast motivated me to keep extracting knowledge from the institution while remaining critical. I appreciate the podcast because it reinforces our historical consciousness. The podcast is about Oscar but Oscar became so much more than a person, so the podcast is about so much more than Oscar. It’s about all the things he stood for.

Excellent reporting about important snapshots of culture and history in Southern CA. Both Season 1 and 2 were informative. I look forward to more episodes.
