&#13;
You might have heard—last year we hosted our first-ever live event, and we're excited to share it with you!&#13;
&#13;
Our Port of Entry Live event was part of the World Design Experience, linked to San Diego–Tijuana's 2024 World Design Capital initiative.&#13;
&#13;
The event joined a larger lineup of exhibitions, talks, art shows, installations, and workshops held throughout San Diego and Tijuana to showcase our area's creative talent.&#13;
&#13;
Today's episode contains part 2 of the unedited recording of that live event, presented in two parts. It’s part of a larger five-episode bundle, including our recent podcast episode "Compadres in Art—Charles and Giancarlo," and two short video capsules: Charles' Dream and Giancarlo's Dance.&#13;
&#13;
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy.&#13;

Una Nueva era de Fútbol en la Región Fronteriza</title><description>¡Qué onda, amigos!&#13;
&#13;
Es un momento increíble para ser fanático del fútbol en San Diego y en toda la región fronteriza. La llegada de San Diego FC, la franquicia más nueva de la Major League Soccer, ha desatado una ola de fiebre futbolística en toda la comunidad&#13;
&#13;
Nos unimos con Barra 18 uno de los grupos oficiales de seguidores de SDFC, para asistir un watchparty del juego y aprender de primera mano qué es lo que tiene a los fanáticos tan emocionados. También, nos sentamos con Jacob Aere de KPBS, productor de la mini-serie digital “Soccer a la Frontera” para hablar sobre la historia y la cultura del fútbol en la región y sobre cómo se armó esta serie de 5 partes. Por ultimo, nos reconectamos con un viejo amigo para escuchar sus pensamientos sobre este momento histórico.&#13;
&#13;
Este episodio es todo sobre fútbol, ¡asegúrate de sintonizar! Acompañenos!&#13;
&#13;
P.D. Deberías echarle una escuchada a nuestro episodio Gringo Xolos que armamos hace unos años.&#13;
&#13;
P.D.D. También participaremos en algunos eventos públicos para hablar sobre la creación de podcasts y nuestro estilo de narrativa.&#13;

We tagged along with Barra 18, one of the official supporter groups of SDFC, to catch an away game and learn firsthand what's got fans buzzing with excitement. Later, we sat with KPBS's Jacob Aere, producer of the digital mini-series “Soccer a la frontera” to talk about the history and culture of soccer in the region and putting this 5-part series together. Plus, we reconnect with an old friend to hear his thoughts about this historic moment.&#13;
&#13;
This episode is all about soccer—make sure to tune in!&#13;
&#13;
Nos vemos pronto!&#13;
&#13;
P.S. You should check out our episode Gringo Xolos that we put together a few years ago.&#13;
&#13;
P.S.S. We will also be taking part in a few public events to talk about podcasting and storytelling.&#13;

Una de esas historias es la leyenda de La Faraona, la bailarina que ronda los terrenos de lo que solía ser el viejo Resort y Casino Agua Caliente, ahora la preparatoria Lázaro Cárdenas.&#13;
&#13;
Hablamos con Fernando Escobedo (https://www.facebook.com/joferes29?rdid=hobyJJtDjsRPc8DR&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F5KZxza5JKGR8fSVS%2F), historiador de Tijuana que ha investigado la vida de Esperanza López Padilla, la mujer detrás de la Faraona. También escuchamos a Ursula Mansur (https://www.instagram.com/ursulamansur_actriz/), una actriz de Tijuana que ha dedicado gran parte de su trayectoria profesional a interpretar a La Faraona. No te quieres perder este episodio donde desmitificamos esta leyenda tan emblemática de la ciudad de Tijuana.&#13;

Entonces, si es barato, ¿más personas han aprovechado la oportunidad de construir de esta manera? y ¿por qué no se ha popularizado en entornos urbanos?&#13;
&#13;
Para responder a estas preguntas, continuamos la conversación con Miguel Ángel Pérez, un bioconstructor de Baja, y hablamos sobre los costos de la construcción con arcilla. Tambien charlamos con Rachel Formanek, una neoyorquina que se mudó de California a Baja para encontrar condiciones de vida mejores y más asequibles. Por último, nos sentamos con Alex Ruiz, director de planificación urbana en Tecate y nos dió una nueva perspectiva sobre la viabilidad de la construcción con tierra en entornos urbanos.&#13;

Turns out it's cheap! So if it's cheap? Have more people jumped on the opportunity to build this way and why hasn't it taken hold in urban settings?&#13;
&#13;
To answer these questions, We follow up with Miguel Angel Perez an earthbuilder from Baja, and talk about the costs of earthbuilding and chat with Rachel Formanek, a New Yorker who moved from California to Baja to find better and affordable living conditions. Lastly, we sit down with Alex Ruiz, director of urban planning in Tecate, and ask for his take on the viability of earth building in city settings.&#13;

Si conduces durante el día, seguramente te tocará estar en algún embotellamiento de tráfico. Entonces, ¿deberíamos construir más carreteras para aliviar la congestión del tráfico? En este episodio, quisimos explorar qué es lo que impide a los Tijuanenses obtener una mejor calidad de vida. La respuesta nos sorprendió.&#13;
&#13;
Conversamos con los arquitectos y urbanistas René Peralta y Sharlinee Ceniceros Toscano, y Andrew Bowen de KPBS, para escuchar su opinión sobre qué impide que los tijuanenses tengan una mejor calidad de vida.&#13;
&#13;
¡Nos vemos pronto!&#13;

If you drive around during the day, you will most certainly be caught in a traffic jam. So should we build more roads to ease traffic congestion? In this episode, we wanted to explore what is keeping residents of Tijuana from a better quality of life. The answer took us by surprise. &#13;
Join us in our conversations with architects and urbanists René Peralta and Sharlinee Ceniceros Toscano, and KPBS’ own Andrew Bowen, to hear their take on what is keeping Tijuanenses from a better quality of life.&#13;

So, here's the deal: we want to get to know you better and make sure we're bringing you the absolute best content. That's where you come in! We've put together a short questionnaire, and we would be thrilled if you could take a few moments to share your thoughts and experiences with us.&#13;

To sweeten up the deal, we are throwing in some KPBS swag in the mix and will be picking up a couple of winners from the participant pool. So that could be you!&#13;
&#13;
Your feedback is super important to us, and it will help us improve and bring you even more fantastic topics and shows. We can't wait to hear what you have to say! 🎙️&#13;

In our recurring “Tour Guide” bonus episodes, we ask transborder people to take us on a tour of a special place in the borderlands: a place that means a lot to them. Today, our new fronteriza cohost Natalie Gonzalez, along with our longtime fronterizo host Alan Lilienthal, take us on a tour of two of their favorite places in Tijuana and tell us more about their life on la línea. 

Today’s episode continues our new season of "Port of Entry" focused on crossborder artists and musicians who’ve turned pain into superpowers.

His detailed ink drawings are often a mishmash of U.S.-Mexico icons, like Star Wars and taco carts, or astronauts eating carne asada. But for a long time, Tijuanauta refused to sell his art or make art his day job. Instead, he hid behind the safety of his office job and cubicle for a decade. But Tijuanauta recently took the plunge. He became a full-time artist and had his first-ever art show in Tijuana over the summer. He’s gaining traction fast, but his biggest battle is inside his own brain. A mix of lifelong anxiety and self-doubt has long stopped Tijuanauta from being the artist he's destined to be. But he’s finally fighting back.

At the border, the journey from trash to treasure often involves an actual trip from San Diego to Tijuana, where things like furniture, appliances and other used or discarded objects find a second life. But, of course, those objects don’t move themselves. The whole cross-border, second-hand world involves people like Seth Sullivan, aka “Art Pusher,” one of the best-known “pickers” in the borderlands. Seth is a fireball who’s been through a lot in his cross-border life. But his struggles have only fueled him to keep going and growing.

Valle de Guadalupe has exploded over the last decade. It’s become a hugely popular wine and food destination for people from around the world. But when the pandemic hit, the flood of tourism to the culinary region just completely stopped at first, then slowly turned into a trickle. A new one-hour special on KPBS called “Ingrediente” tells the story of how Valle de Guadalupe chef Drew Deckman and his restaurant crew learned how to survive and even thrive through the ongoing pandemic. We talk to Deckman and the show’s producer, Jill Bond.

Valle de Guadalupe has exploded over the last decade. It’s become a hugely popular wine and food destination for people from around the world. But when the pandemic hit, the flood of tourism to the culinary region just completely stopped at first, then slowly turned into a trickle. A new one-hour special on KPBS called “Ingrediente” tells the story of how Valle de Guadalupe chef Drew Deckman and his restaurant crew learned how to survive and even thrive through the ongoing pandemic. We talk to Deckman and the show’s producer, Jill Bond.

Flash forward 50 years, and the small barbed-wire fence that once demarcated the border has been replaced with two large fences, dozens of cameras, a watch tower and other security measures. 

In this special bonus episode produced as part of the park's 50th anniversary celebration, we talk to some of the people in Tijuana and San Diego who are working hard to keep Nixon’s vision of a fence-free binational park alive. Plus, we connect with someone who has a very personal connection with the place.

But with the asylum system still severely curtailed, thousands remain stuck in dangerous conditions in Tijuana. 

KPBS reporter Max Rivlin-Nadler has been following the story for months. His reporting is featured in a new special report for the “KPBS Investigates” and “Port of Entry” podcasts. 

In the episode, Rivlin-Nadler follows the painfully long wait many asylum seekers have had to endure, simply for a chance at finding refuge in the U.S. It outlines America's critically damaged asylum system at the U.S. Mexico border by introducing you to the people on the ground, both the migrants living in the dangerous refugee camps in Tijuana and the activists and lawyers trying to help them.

After he landed in Southern California for high school and college, he eventually made his way south to Tijuana to see show after show at the legendary music venue Iguana’s. Over time, Phil found himself crossing the border a lot, spending hours writing poetry and lyrics at his favorite bar, Dandy Del Sur. 
 
In our recurring “Moved by Music” series, we tap into the ’70s rock records Phil and his brothers listened to as kids, and the punk, two-tone and dub reggae he caught on the John Peel show on BBC radio. Then we dive deep into Phil’s relationship with Tijuana over the years, and how his love of living in a border city led to The Color Forty Nine’s new collaboration with world-famous musician Rubén Albarrán of Café Tacvba and Tijuana artist Hugo Crosthwaite.

But making music and touring the world wasn’t always the plan for Ramon. He studied and practiced dentistry, and he thought he'd be filling cavities his whole life. Instead, he became one of the most influential pioneers of electronic music in Mexico. In our recurring “Moved by Music” series, we explore some of the futuristic synths and drum machines that set young Ramon’s imagination on fire back in the 70s, the synth pop he we was digging for at record stores in the 80s, and the artists that inspired him in the 90s when he was playing raves all across Mexico.

Los Angeles is a giant when it comes to making movies.

Here in San Diego and Tijuana, we’re stuck under the huge shadow of L.A. It’s hard to compete with Hollywood. But think about it: the border has good bones for eventually becoming a film mecca. It’s one, big, super diverse place that offers access to two really different backdrops. Plus, shooting a film in Mexico is a lot cheaper. And there’s not as much red tape when it comes to permits.

Unfortunately, though, a lot of large-scale production companies only think about the border when they’re thinking about movies or TV shows about narcos and drugs.

Lots of filmmakers only see the Mexico-U.S. border as a backdrop for stories about drug cartel violence. It’s become such a trope that “narco-fatigue” is a term now. Folks are exhausted by news and pop culture focused on the drug trade in Mexico. Yeah, it’s a huge issue here, but it’s just way over done.

Locally, though, some filmmakers like Omar Lopex are using the border to their advantage, making movies that have nothing to do with narcos.

And that trend is starting to pick up some steam thanks to efforts by local film groups that are working hard to boost filmmaking in our binational region.

Today, a story about filming across borders.

Only here will you find filmmakers in San Diego and Tijuana using the border as a valuable resource instead of a janky prop.]]></description><enclosure url="https://kpbs-od.streamguys1.com/kpbs_podcasts/port_of_entry/20220208104150-Border_Film_Re-drop_9-18-20.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" length="41714552"/><guid isPermaLink="false">a961a165de6f4953b711214946573338</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[This episode first aired in September 2019.

Lots of people are still crossing.

Actually, the biggest, most dramatic change in who can’t cross right now; you’re not going to find those folks at the ports of entry. 

Instead, you have to look inside Tijuana’s migrant shelters, and at the refugees who can’t seek asylum in the U.S. right now and are instead stuck in border towns. 

So that's what we do today. We talk to a migrant stuck at the border, and a doctor trying to help.

This is a show for border babies, urban explorers or those who wonder what happens when two cultures are both separated and intertwined.

Isabela is a music journalist from Tijuana and San Diego whose career very closely paralleled the boom in Latin music that's happened over the past decade.

Back in the day, when Latin stars wanted to cross over into pop music, they would have to start singing in English. Nowadays, you have music icons crossing over the other way: singing in Spanish.

With his resume, he could be working at some of the fanciest Michelin-star restaurants in the world. 

But he chose to be here, running a restaurant in Tijuana instead. 

Because Ruffo loves his roots. 

And he wants his food to be infused with them. 

Obviously, the coronavirus pandemic is deeply impacting Ruffo’s work and his restaurant. 

It’s impacting all of us. But restaurants are being hit particularly hard.

Ruffo’s team had just finished remodeling the restaurant a couple of weeks before the quarantine became the new normal. 

Even as many restaurants layoff a lot of their staff, though, Ruffo and his partners have assured their team that they have their backs. 

They’re committed to their safety and well being, even if that means taking a big financial hit.

Antonio describes how his parking lot filled with food trucks sprouted organically and eventually grew into the sophisticated collection of food trucks, beer, wine, art and coffee that it is now. He also breaks a bit of food news: he's currently working on opening Telefónica Norte in San Diego.

From heart-wrenching stories about parents being deported and separated from their kids to first-hand accounts of what it’s like to start a new life in a new country, the mural painted on the actual border fence uses technology to share stories of deportation and struggle. 

You can hear the stories when you walk up to the mural in Playas de Tijuana. It's painted on the actual border fence, and you can use your phone to scan black-and-white QR codes printed on little stickers stuck to the mural. Scanning the stickers takes you to YouTube videos. 

The stories you'll hear in the videos are from two digital storytelling archives: 

Humanizing Deportation: http://humanizandoladeportacion.ucdavis.edu/en/
Dacamented: https://dacamentedarchive.com/

The Playas de Tijuana Mural Project is by artist, scholar and activist Lizbeth De La Cruz Santana. More about the project here: https://lizbethdelacruzsantana.com/mural-project

In addition to our long-form, deep dive episodes, we’re going to try something new by sprinkling in more low-key, casual conversations with interesting people who live cross-border lives. You'll know it's happening when you see the word "conversation" in the title of the episode. 

To be honest, the highly produced episodes you’re used to hearing take a lot of time. Between field recordings, research, sound design and writing, it’s just a ton of work. We had to come up with a way to give our small team more time between new episodes so we can get even better at telling these longer, more nuanced stories. So that’s why we’re doing these conversations -- to give ourselves the time we need to make the best show possible. 

So, in this new conversation series, we’re going to talk to creatives, entrepreneurs, influencers- anyone that embodies our binational region and can help us get to know it a little better. 

We’re going to start this week with the greatest food in the world — tacos. We all love tacos and Tijuana has arguably some of the best in all of Mexico. Scott Koenig is always on the hunt for the best tacos in TJ. He's the writer behind the travel website “A Gringo In Mexico." Koenig has also written a book called “Seven Days in The Valle: Baja California’s Wine Country Cuisine” and he writes columns about food in Baja for several local publications. 

We talk to Scott about living in the moment, immigration's wonderful effect on food and his outsider's take on tacos in Tijuana. He gives us a quick list of a few good taco shops in Tijuana and the tacos to try at each one.

The KPBS podcast tells personal stories from people whose lives are shaped by the tension reverberating around the wall. This is a show for border babies, urban explorers or those who wonder what happens when two cultures are both separated and intertwined.

In addition to our long-form, deep dive episodes, we’re going to try something new by sprinkling in more low-key, casual conversations with interesting people who live cross-border lives. You'll know it's happening when you see the word "conversation" in the title of the episode. 

To be honest, the highly produced episodes you’re used to hearing take a lot of time. Between field recordings, research, sound design and writing, it’s just a ton of work. We had to come up with a way to give our small team more time between new episodes so we can get even better at telling these longer, more nuanced stories. So that’s why we’re doing these conversations -- to give ourselves the time we need to make the best show possible. 

So, in this new conversation series, we’re going to talk to creatives, entrepreneurs, influencers- anyone that embodies our binational region and can help us get to know it a little better. 

We’re going to start this week with the greatest food in the world — tacos. We all love tacos and Tijuana has arguably some of the best in all of Mexico. Scott Koenig is always on the hunt for the best tacos in TJ. He's the writer behind the travel website “A Gringo In Mexico." Koenig has also written a book called “Seven Days in The Valle: Baja California’s Wine Country Cuisine” and he writes columns about food in Baja for several local publications. 

We talk to Scott about living in the moment, immigration's wonderful effect on food and his outsider's take on tacos in Tijuana. He gives us a quick list of a few good taco shops in Tijuana and the tacos to try at each one.

We were recently selected to be part of a prestigious podcast accelerator program that’s pushing us to experiment, take risks and step outside of our creative comfort zones when it comes to this show.

We were one of just six public media stations from across the country chosen to be a part of a grant program called Project Catapult. We’re suuuper excited and honored to be a part of it. 

Project Catapult is basically a training that takes our Only Here production team to Boston once a month where we learn from a team of experts from PRX and other public media stations. 

PRX, by the way, is kinda on par with NPR...it’s a public media company that distributes a long list of podcast and broadcast shows that include some of the most popular in the world -- like This American Life and The Moth.  

We are learning soooo much from PRX! And one of the most important things we’ve learned is to think a looooot more about you -- our audience. 

So, here we are, asking you listeners to do us a big, big favor and email us at podcasts@kpbs.org to tell us more about who you are, why you listen to the show and anything else you want us to know. Maybe there’s a person, place or thing you want us to cover -- we’re open to anything and everything. So, help us make our PRX teachers proud, and please shoot us an email and tell us who you are and what you think of our show. Thanks in advance.]]></description><enclosure url="https://kpbs-od.streamguys1.com/kpbs_podcasts/port_of_entry/20220208104334-Only_Here_Update_And_Some_News_MP3.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" length="4694133"/><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kpbs.org/podcasts/only-here/2020/jan/08/quick-update-and-some-news/</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[We wanted to take a minute or two to tell y’all about some exciting developments for the Only Here podcast team.

The state of California spends $1.8 million annually on a system that keeps trash and dirt from clogging up the estuary in Border Field State Park, a park that butts up against the U.S.-Mexico border fence. 

The agency that takes care of the park, the Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve, says the system has stopped approximately 2 million pounds of debris from entering the environmentally sensitive estuary. 

But the trash just keeps coming and coming, pouring through a culvert under the border that's connected to polluted canyons in Tijuana. And perpetually managing the pricey problem instead of actually solving the problem seems like the forever plan. 

That is, unless Steven Wright and Waylon Matson’s idea gets funded. The environmentalists want to use re-purposed trash from the canyon to build retaining walls and other structures in Tijuana's Los Laureles canyon that would prevent the trash and dirt from reaching the U.S. in the first place.]]></description><enclosure url="https://kpbs-od.streamguys1.com/kpbs_podcasts/port_of_entry/20220208104400-Border_Trash_Final_191203.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" length="51093869"/><guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.kpbs.org/podcasts/only-here/2019/dec/04/slowing-flow/</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode: A story about trash and dirt flowing from one side of the U.S.-Mexico border to the other, and two guys’ plan to stop it.

It feels weird to say that the U.S.-Mexico border wall inspires artists. Because mostly, it pisses them off.

Only here can you find such a crucial lowrider culture on both sides of the wall.</itunes:summary><itunes:title>Lowriders Built By The Border</itunes:title><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://kpbs-rss.streamguys1.com/kpbs_podcasts/port_of_entry/20220208103654-lowridersandiego.png"/><itunes:duration>1752</itunes:duration><podcast:images srcset="https://kpbs-rss.streamguys1.com/kpbs_podcasts/port_of_entry/20220208103654-lowridersandiego.png 954w"/><pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2019 08:51:35 -0700</pubDate></item><item><title>Shooting in Tijuana</title><description><![CDATA[Los Angeles is a giant when it comes to making movies. 

Here in San Diego and Tijuana, we’re stuck under the huge shadow of L.A. It’s hard to compete with Hollywood. But think about it: the border has good bones for eventually becoming a film mecca. It’s one, big, super diverse place that offers access to two really different backdrops. Plus, shooting a film in Mexico is a lot cheaper. And there’s not as much red tape when it comes to permits. 

Unfortunately, though, a lot of large-scale production companies only think about the border when they’re thinking about movies or TV shows about narcos and drugs. 

Lots of filmmakers only see the Mexico-U.S. border as a backdrop for stories about drug cartel violence. It’s become such a trope that “narco-fatigue” is a term now. Folks are exhausted by news and pop culture focused on the drug trade in Mexico. Yeah, it’s a huge issue here, but it’s just way over done.  

Locally, though, some filmmakers like Omar Lopex are using the border to their advantage, making movies that have nothing to do with narcos. 

And that trend is starting to pick up some steam thanks to efforts by local film groups that are working hard to boost filmmaking in our binational region. 

Today, a story about filming across borders.

In fact, the only wall here at this weekly outdoor service is the one separating the United States from Mexico. Border Church is an outdoor church that meets every Sunday on both sides of the international border fence between San Diego and Tijuana. The weekly church service is a religious celebration, but it also helps ensure that Border Patrol will continue to allow people to use this place as a meeting point.

This spot, where the border wall runs into the Pacific Ocean, is where families whose immigration status doesn’t allow them to travel between the two countries can meet each other through the fence. This is the only place along the Southern California border where people can legally walk right up to the fence and touch people on the other side - just barely by poking their little fingers through holes in a steel mesh barrier, but still, it’s a touch.

The American way of life has a way of melting everything into one giant pot full of so many ingredients that the flavors are hardly discernible.

But in Sherman Heights, the community isn’t jumping into that big pot. Instead, they’re keeping the Mexican flavor alive.  

In this episode, a story about celebrating death as a way of bringing culture back to life. 

We stop by the annual Day of the Dead celebration at the Sherman Heights Community Center. The event is billed as the border region’s most traditional and longest running Dia de los Muertos celebration. Then we check in with a pair of artists who built a mobile Day of the Dead altar and came up with a plan to roll the altar through the border crossing and bring flowers they grew in Mexico to a Day of the Dead celebration in Escondido.
