Host George Martin (@AstrosFansUK) is joined by special guest, lead play-by-play announcer for the Houston Astros Spanish radio broadcasts on KLAT 1010 AM, Francisco Romero (@FRomeroAstros). A fascinating and engaging discussion begins with Romero's assessment of the Houston Astros' 2021 season so far and stand-out performers, before looking at the makeup of the Spanish broadcast's listenership across the Latin world. The conversation goes on to explore the relationship between the Astros and its many vibrant Hispanic players. Following this, the focus switches to Romero's preparation and gameday routine for Astros broadcasts, assessing the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on interaction between broadcasters and players. Romero details the groundbreaking role he has had in developing Spanish-language broadcasts across multiple Major League Baseball clubs during his career, offering his advice for people looking to follow in his footsteps into the sports media world in the modern age. Afterward, Romero takes a closer look back at the genesis of his own career, the influences which shaped this path for him and how he took the once-in-a-career opportunity to make his way in the sports broadcast arena. The discussion moves on to highlight the eye-opening dearth of full-time Spanish-language MLB broadcasts across the 30 clubs and evaluates the position of Hispanic baseball players in MLB in 2021.
