Lucy López and Mike Beltrán on how cancer impacts families and turning pain into action
We last had Lucy López on Pan Con Podcast in 2021. Since then, the former Power 96 radio personality has refashioned her career with (among many other things) roles hosting two podcasts — Slate’s Care and Feeding podcast and her own Mamacita Rica podcast. She also had a role in #Graced, a play written by past podcast guest Vanessa García and co-directed by past guest Victoria Collado.
In this episode, Lucy and Mike open up about their experiences helping care for each of their mothers in the wake of cancer diagnoses. The conversation is about some of the ways that cancer impacts families and how it imbues volunteer work, charitable giving and other efforts to combat cancer with deep personal meaning.
Mike’s second Cars & Croquetas car show to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will be held March 10, 2024 in Coconut Grove, with Lucy stepping in to emcee.
