Episode 1 - This is no ordinary world
Picture yourself at a rally, shoulder to shoulder with a sea of passionate people fighting for change. In the debut episode of The Persistence, host Angélica Cordero takes us back to her first protest rally in San Antonio in 2021, where she stood up against Texas' restrictive abortion law. With personal stories and deep historical insights, Angélica links past and present acts of resistance, shining a light on the unyielding spirit of persistence. She draws powerful connections between today's protests and historical figures like Hortensia, a Roman woman who stood up against unfair taxes. This episode makes history come alive by highlighting overlooked voices and untold stories, showing how persistence shapes our fight for justice today.
This episode was written by and produced by Angélica Cordero, with a little help from ChatGPT.
Our theme song is Don’t Kid Yourself Baby by Fold, used with their blessings. You heard a snippet from Sesame Street’s Word on the Street. Podcast artwork for The Persistence features Mexican-American activist Jovita Idar and was created by Tamra Collins of Sunroot Studio.
