NASHUA, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man is raising money to create a radio show that focuses on the experiences of first-generation Americans.

Oscar Villacis has wanted to start a podcast focusing on the experiences of minority communities in Nashua since last year, New Hampshire Public Radio reported Monday.

“Let’s give minorities a voice by hosting a radio show to discuss topics relevant to today’s current events and shed light on stories of diverse populations in the greater Nashua area,” Villacis wrote on Facebook.

When a video of former WSMN-AM host Dianna Ploss accosting Spanish-speaking workers surfaced, Villacis decided he needed a more direct connection with Nashua. Ploss was fired.

“This show will replace airtime that was formerly polarized in nature and full racism,” Villacis said on Facebook.

Some of the topics he hopes to cover include anti-Blackness within the Latino community, mental health and immigration. The show would air on WSMN-AM in English on Tuesday and Spanish on the weekend, New Hampshire Public Radio reported.

Villacis’ Facebook fundraiser is trying to raise around $4,000 more to cover airtime and production costs for a year.
