Alt.Latino - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This show is essential to me now that tower records is gone. I used to love visiting the store to learn about new music, check staff recommendations, or hear other shoppers talk about artists they like. Alt Latino has introduced me to new artists and sounds that I add to my playlist or reintroduces me to music I’ve forgotten about and reconnect with. So grateful that this show exists.

This is a really good podcast! This is perfect for anyone who loves music and/or wants to know more about Latino/Hispanic culture. I'm Native Mexican, and I love learning about my culture. I've had to learn about Hispanic and Latino history with podcasts and books, because history often overlooks us. Very good, 5 stars! 🫶🏽🇲🇽

¡Este es un podcast muy bueno! Esto es perfecto para cualquiera que ame la música y/o quiera saber más sobre la cultura latina/hispánica. Soy nativo mexicano y me encanta aprender sobre mi cultura. He tenido que aprender sobre la historia hispana y latina con podcasts y libros, porque la historia a menudo nos pasa por alto. ¡Muy bien, 5 estrellas! 🫶🏽🇲🇽

Alt.Latino was the first podcast I subscribed to, 7 or 8 years ago, and I have continued to follow it through its changing co-hosts and variety of conversations. Felix Contreras is a treasure! His music appreciation is deep and broad, so he is always able to add historical context to contemporary trends in Latino music. I have saved a repertoire of shows that are precious to me both in music and theme. Thank you to the many contributors and producers who have built this opus!

It’s a romance. Ever since I first heard this podcast its brought me peace, and so much happiness. Every single episode is didactic, culturally respectful and so tasteful. Thank you all for your work putting together this masterpiece.

I think the audio is poor quality. It’s muffled and can’t be turned up beyond a certain point. Needless to say, that’s especially bad for a music show.

Alt-Latino was my go-to program for learning about new music, artists and genres but where are the songs? Starting in the spring complete songs disappeared, a large variety of genres in each program has been eliminated. The focus on one artist encourages me to skip episodes. The new host is too earnest, trying to be too “hip.” (She also has made inaccurate comments about genres.) Felix, please bring Alt-Latino back to its roots.
