A Rough Few Weeks for Us Beaners and Animals

Robles & Rosado - May 24, 2018 12:21 - 34 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
It seems Latinos are under attack from all sides these days. The White House thinks we're animals, Starbucks calls us beaners and some pendejo racist lawyer in New York City just can't bear to hear the loveliness that is Castellano — unless, of course, it's in his law practice. There yo...

Robles & Rosado - March 15, 2015 17:09 - 29 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratings

RR 17: The Unforced Confessions of Rick Najera - Robles & Rosado

Robles & Rosado - September 14, 2014 02:19 - 29 minutes ★★★★★ - 2 ratings
Rick Najera is not an activist. That’s not a shot at the actor-writer-director-producer and he’ll be the first to tell you. Rick is a man who is unafraid to speak his mind and is an artist who is pointing out the reality and vagaries of the Latino experience in America. Also a  playwrigh...
