Hernan Lopez- The Ancient Medium of the Future

Season 1, Episode 68,   Mar 01, 2016, 10:27 PM

Entrepreneurship is a calling in and of itself. Often a person knows he wants to start his own business, but never takes that leap until he sees the right opportunity. For Hernan Lopez, that opportunity is podcasting. After years of being the president at Fox International, with a career most people would dream of, he left to start Wondery- a media company specialized in mobile and on-demand storytelling. We discuss why he left his job at Fox to start podcasting, the future of podcasting, and what drew him to the medium. We also speak about Hernan's upbringing in Argentina and the "gay ceiling" he faced due to his sexuality; why he left to come to the U.S., his perception of the United States, and our misperceptions of homophobia in Latino culture. So tune in as we discuss a podcast about podcasts!
