About this listen

 These are cross-border stories that connect us. Border people often inhabit this in-between place. From KPBS and California Humanities “Port of Entry” tells personal stories from this place — stories of love, hope, struggle, and survival from border crossers, fronterizxs, and other people whose lives are shaped around the wall. Rooted in San Diego and Tijuana, we are a transborder podcast for transborder people. We live life on la linea. Hosted by Alan Lilienthal and Natalie Gonzalez, written and produced by Julio C. Ortiz Franco, mixed and sound designed by Adrian Villalobos.KPBS Public Media Social Sciences

    Giancarlo y Charles - Compadres en Arte!
    Jun 13 2025
    Giancarlo y Charles - Compadres en Arte! ¡Qué tal, amigos! En esta edición especial de Port of Entry, les traemos la historia de Charles Glaubitz y Giancarlo Ruiz, dos compadres de la región fronteriza Tijuana-San Diego que recientemente colaboraron en una novela gráfica titulada "The Fracture.” Adentramos en cómo este compadrazgo de décadas hizo posible la creación de este cómic. Y... lo haremos de una manera un poco diferente esta vez. ¡tambores, por favor! Les presentamos Port of Entry Shorts: cápsulas de video cortas que dan vida a nuestras historias transfronterizas de una manera nueva y fresca, ¡a través del video! Para inaugurar este nuevo formato, comenzamos con dos videos: uno protagonizado por Charles y el otro por Giancarlo. Estas cápsulas se estrenaron originalmente el otoño pasado en nuestro evento en vivo y son parte de un paquetazo de cinco episodios que incluye este episodio, además de las dos partes de nuestro evento en vivo. ¡Esperamos que disfruten estos cinco episodios! ¡Nos vemos pronto! P.S.S. También participaremos en algunos eventos públicos para hablar sobre la creación de podcasts y nuestro estilo de narrativa. Intersection 2025
