"Latinos are 50% of LA’s population — but our perspectives are still vastly underrepresented in mainstream media. “Lalo on CALÓ” brings sharp insight, wit, and cultural commentary to the issues that shape our lives. From politics and pop culture to education and social justice, Lalo delivers truth with soul."
