Chino Y Chicano
The Chino Y Chicano podcast began on December 22, 2022 with co-hosts Matt Chan (The Chino) and Enrique Cerna (The Chicano).
Chan and Cerna spent their careers making television. Chan was the creator of the cable television series Hoarders. Cerna was a Seattle broadcast journalist who somehow was never fired during his 43 year career. Their podcast mission was to dish on the good, bad and ugly that people of color face in America. They took up the complexities of race, and sought out people far more interesting than they could ever be.
On March 30, 2024, Matt Chan passed away after battling kidney cancer. Enrique Cerna made a commitment to continue the podcast in his honor.
The Chino Y Chicano podcast partners with Converge Media to present UNFILTERED, a no holds barred conversation featuring Cerna, former Seattle City Council member Deborah Juarez and Converge Media founder Omari Salisbury. Take a listen to all the episodes presented. The content might piss you off, but you might also learn something.
