Other Sides is a podcast series produced by UTEP’s Museo Urbano and the Borderlands Public History Lab featuring voices and perspectives about the U.S.-Mexico border that are usually left out of mainstream historical narratives. The podcasts focus on oral history interviews with fronterizos who share their lived experiences of major historical developments and issues, such as immigration, border culture, labor, and community-building, that continue to make headlines even today. The program is co-hosted by Yolanda Chávez Leyva, director of the Institute of Oral History at UTEP, and David Dorado Romo, Mellon Fellow at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fe. The stories are drawn from the oral history collection at UTEP that holds over 1,500 oral histories and 20,000 pages of transcripts.
