“Life As A Gringo” is a podcast from Z100 On-Air Personality, Dramos. The show represents the voices of American-born Latinos who live their lives existing in a gray area. Those who are looked at as a gringo or “too white” by their family back in their native land, but were constantly reminded that their house smelled different or their parents music was “weird” by the people they grew up with. This is life as seen through our eyes.

It’s nice hearing someone able to understand being Latino in the US.
Just started with the latest ep, so have a lot to catch up on, but I can already tell how relatable it all is.
