  • KZ Community Beat - El Morning Chou - The Voice of Peoria's Latino Community
    Aug 8 2025

    This episode is about representation, resistance, and real talk.

    Ross sits down with Christell Frausto and Andy Fremac, the host of El Morning Chou — Peoria’s first Latino-programmed radio show — for a bilingual, boundary-breaking conversation about the rise of the Latino community in Central Illinois, and the weight of being seen and heard.

    Together, they explore:
    - The power of Latino voices in local media
    - The growing Latino population in Peoria
    - The heartbreaking cancellation of El Fiesta en el Rio due to fear from ICE activity
    - And why the microphone, in the right hands, can change everything

    This episode was recorded in both Spanish and English to reflect the culture, the emotion, and the truth of this community — and to break the barrier of “us vs. them” across radio brands, audiences, and assumptions.

    It’s not just a podcast.
    It’s a moment.
    It’s history.
    And it’s still being written.
