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.

Ep 137 Author Tim Heaphy on Rising Threats to Democracy
On the morning of Donald Trump’s second Inauguration Day, Tim Heaphy learned President Joe Biden issued a preemptive pardon for his role as the Chief Investigative Counsel of the House of Representatives Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. Heaphy tells “Chino Y Chicano” host Enrique Cerna he did not want the pardon because he did nothing wrong.
Heaphy is the author of “Harbingers: What January 6 and Charlottesville Reveal About Rising Threats to American Democracy”. Before working on the January 6 committee, Heaphy oversaw the independent investigation into the August 12th, 2017 riot in Charlottesville, Virginia.
