Que Pasa, Midwest? Season 5: Helpers In The COVID Crisis

¿Qué Pasa, Midwest? is a bilingual podcast for midwestern Latinx who are missing an essential piece of their cultural identity. By sharing their stories, it aims to build a sense of hope and community. Season 5 tackles the coronavirus — but not through statistics and news. This season is about the people who are finding solutions to problems caused by the pandemic.

Listen to Season 5 here, or wherever you get your podcasts. The podcast is a production of WNIN in Evansville, Indiana — a Side Effects partner station.

This story was produced by Side Effects Public Media, a news collaborative covering public health.
