VL East Coast Editor Mamita Mala was a guest on NPR’s Latino USA radio show yesterday talking about the Latino vote in this year’s elections. Mala threw down with a Latina republican who claims that “Latinos are Republicans, they just don’t know it yet” and talked about how many Latino young people disenfranchised by both political parties. Check out the show on the Latino USA website.

If you are listening to the complete show, you can hear Mala after Univision’s Maria Elena Salinas‘ take on Latino voter intimidation. Immediately after the Latino vote segment, you can hear authors Carolina Gonzalez and Seth Kugel talk about their new book, Nueva York: The Complete Guide to Latino Life in the Five Boroughs, which I am totally buying.

And if you’ve never heard it before, Latino USA is a great show. It should be required weekly listening.
