  • Episode 10: The Tortilla Diaries — Arthur and Abby Ratcliff
    Aug 6 2021

    This month our program features a married couple—Art and Abby Ratcliff. Both were born in San Antonio in 1928—at the time of the interview they’d been married for fifty two years! They provide their life history of what life was like growing up during the post Depression era, along with the challenges they faced in acquiring fluency in English. Arthur and Abby both graduated from high school in the post World War 2 era (1947-1948) and experienced a society in transition.

  • Episode 9: The Tortilla Diaries Ep. 9—Cafe con Leche
    May 31 2021
    This month our program features something unique. I’m featuring an audio program I created/wrote/ and produced in my graduate school days. To be quite honest, it was my first foray into audio production. It was for a class called “Writing About Race and Change” at Florida Atlantic University that was taught by its Writer in Residence, Dr. Kitty Oliver, who would later become my mentor and friend. “Cafe con Leche”—as I titled it, also won an award from FAU’s Graduate Research Symposium and led to a Summer Internship program under the tutelage of former NPR station manager and BBC freelance contributor—Dr. Kevin Petrich. I had the honor of being his teaching assistant for Broadcast Journalism for three years. Talk about lucky! This audio program brings back many fond memories for me: of the many friendships I made while in graduate school, of the challenges graduate school presented, and of the hard work and sacrifice it required. But it also reminded me of the sweet taste of success I achieved upon earning the doctorate. Just in case you’re curious, I remixed the program and hope you like my update.

  • Episode 8: The Tortilla Diaries Ep. 8—The Wrong Side of the Tracks
    May 7 2021
    Hola amigos, somos familia! This month's podcast focuses on Rev. Dr. Daniel Rodriguez. Brother Dan—as his congregation fondly called him— pastored at La Trinidad United Methodist Church in San Antonio from 1983-2002. His activism for social justice guided his ministry over the years. In 1966, he served in the Rio Grande Valley in Mission, TX—just a few miles from the Mexican border and participated in and supported the striking farmworkers in their 400-mile march to the state capitol in Austin. His activism continued while at La Trinidad. He pursued community organizing efforts in Mexican American communities on the west and south sides of San Antonio and joined Communities Organized for Public Service (COPS) and The Metro Alliance. As a result of his activism, he assisted these organizations in dismantling longstanding discriminatory laws and practices. Many of these Jim Crow laws oppressed minority communities in San Antonio since the 1870s. Brother Dan actively served in the Rio Grande Conference of the United Methodist Church for over fifty years. He passed on July 19, 2020 at the age of 88. I'm so honored to feature his interview on my podcast and am dedicating this edition of The Tortilla Diaries to Rev. Dr. Daniel Rodriguez and my dear cousin, Gustavo Dominguez.
