Hispanic Heritage Month is here, and while we work to amplify the community's stories now more than ever, celebrating Latino achievements should never end on Oct. 15. This is why the NPR One team has curated several new and noteworthy shows created by Latinos from across public media that are worth checking out now, as well as any other time of year.
Visit the NPR Oye podcast collection on the NPR app on Android and on NPR One on iOS for even more recommended episodes.
The podcast episode descriptions below are from podcast webpages and have been edited for brevity and clarity.
Tacos of Texas
Plant-based cuisine is trendy — but before Spanish colonizers introduced pork and beef to the Americas, plant-based foods were the norm.

Radio Ambulante
Brígido Lara is a Mexican artisan who for decades created hundreds of clay figures inspired by the Mesoamerican cultures of the Gulf of Mexico. His talent brought him money and fame, but also consequences that forced him to choose whether he wanted to use his gift for good or ill.
