Meet Jasmine! And her new pod, Sacred Scandal: Nation of Saints
Do you listen carefully to our credits every week? Then you might’ve heard of our “silent contributor,” Jasmine Romero, who has been editing “This Is Uncomfortable” for the past year and a half. And all along, she’s also been working on another podcast of her own,\xa0“Sacred Scandal: Nation of Saints.” It’s a show with a lot of Uncomfortable themes \u2014 immigration, family secrets and how money messes with politics.
\nWe\u2019re sharing the first episode of Jasmine\u2019s pod, but before we jump in, she tells Reema how she reported this deeply personal story about the Salvadoran Civil War, the assassination of a beloved archbishop, and an unsolved murder in her own family. Reema and Jasmine bond over the challenges of reporting personal stories and reflect on how the show\u2019s themes connect to current news events.
