Antonio says this project was launched during the pandemic when he was looking for different ways to reach people. It was then that he combined his love of media and serving the community. “We have so many amazing people at Fresno EOC doing amazing work, and everyone shares the same passion for fighting to end poverty. The podcast is a great way to tap into our employees’ vast amount of expertise and knowledge and share it with all of our listeners.”
The podcast, which launched on October 29, 2020, has launched nine episodes, so far. In the most recent episode, they discussed the COVID pandemic through an equity lens to understand people’s fears around vaccines and inequities in medical access.
The next episode will highlight the Fresno EOC LGBTQ+ Resource Center and the trainings the center offers to the community. The release date will be April 29.
