Filiberto Nolasco Gomez | Season 3 Episode 4

“Just because it’s journalism doesn’t mean it has to be
unattractive. It can feel good, too.”


Filiberto Nolasco Gomez grew up in a working-class Mexican
community in Eastern Los Angeles. On this episode of the podcast,
he talks about how much his name means to him and how challenging
it seems to be for folks to pronounce it correctly. He also talks
about citizenship, the real work of being a journalist, what
music means to him and how masculinity operates as a means of
survival and sometimes a barrier to connection. 


Filiberto is the editor of Workday Minnesota, a publication
focused on telling the real stories of Minnesota's working
people.


He also writes and produces a podcast about music and culture
called El Hauteque.
