Don Cheto is a fictional radio and television personality who’s had a morning radio show for years now. His show “Don Cheto Al Aire” is rated the number one radio show in Los Angeles and airs on Estrella Media’s Que Buena Los Angeles.

He is an icon in Mexican-American culture, best known for his outlandish tall tales and humorous approach to entertainment news. The radio reminds me of mornings when life was calmer. It reminds me of my grandpa. Listening to the radio was not only crucial to my family but also to my cultural identity. Spanish was everywhere around me, including on the radio.
