Carlos Frías settles discrimination case with WLRN
WLRN and ex-"Sundial" host Carlos Frías quietly settled a discrimination lawsuit that Frías filed last year after the radio station canceled his show. The big picture: In the lawsuit, Frías claimed that the NPR station discriminated against him for being Latino and retaliated after he complained to human resources. The lawsuit claimed a WLRN editor told a producer the show was "sounding very Latino" and began keeping track of how many Hispanic guests were on the show. WLRN denied the allegations. It said in court filings that the "unsuccessful Sundial show" was canceled for poor ratings, leading to the termination of Frías and two producers on the show. The latest: Frías, who had sought reinstatement to his old job and compensatory damages, settled the case with WLRN in January. Details of the settlement are confidential, Frías' attorney, William Amlong, tells Axios. "Both sides are appropriately happy and unhappy," Amlong said. "It's how a good mediation always works out." The other side: A WLRN spokesperson said: "The matter has been resolved." Since leaving WLRN, Frías has been working as a freelance writer for outlets like the New York Times, while pursuing other projects.

Carlos Ponce Joins MariVi the Master Navigator as the Voice of Papá in Breakout Animated Series Now Streaming on Nuestra.TV and YouTube
[Media: Access more images and video HERE] LOS ANGELES, June 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emmy-winning actor, Latin Grammy nominated artist, and international screen star Carlos Ponce has joined the animated children's series MariVi the Master Navigator, as the voice of Papá, a hard-working and loving immigrant father. The series, now streaming for free on and YouTube (@WeAreMariVi), recently surpassing 100,000+ subscribers, brings to life the emotional nuance of growing up between two cultures – a Latino and an American one. Rooted in the acclaimed work of Maria (Lopez) Twena, MariVi the Master Navigator tells the powerful story of a first-generation Hispanic family learning to call America home. Through the eyes of MariVi — a resourceful bilingual/bicultural daughter — the series shines a light on the quiet heroism of Latino children of immigrants who serve as interpreters and cultural ambassadors, shaping the future of their families and communities. 'Navigating two cultures can be incredibly challenging, particularly for the Hispanic community, where collectivism and self-reliance often stand in contrast,' said Twena. 'In MariVi the Master Navigator, each character brings their own strength as they adapt to new surroundings, a new language, and an unfamiliar world. It was essential that the voice of Papá, as the head of the household, felt authentic. We're incredibly grateful to have found that voice in Carlos.' 'Papá isn't just a supporting character, he's the foundation,' said Carlos Ponce. 'He reminds me of the fathers I grew up around: hardworking, proud, sometimes stubborn, but full of heart. I saw parts of my own life in him. It's a character that feels deeply real, and I'm honored to give him a voice.' The casting of Ponce, whose work spans blockbuster films (Julie & the Phantoms, Murder Mystery 2, Couples Retreat), hit TV series (Santa Diabla, 7th Heaven), animated hits (Rio, Ice Age: Collision Course), the Spanish-language narration of all Harry Potter Audible books, and chart-topping Latin Albums, adds star power and legitimacy to a project that champions representation and cultural pride. Ponce's voice performance is a timely tribute to immigrant fathers whose quiet sacrifices often go unseen. With Father's Day approaching, his role as Papá offers a heartfelt celebration of their love, strength, and everyday heroism. More information on and @wearemarivi on social media.

Meet the 2025 Miss South Dakota winner
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Just a year and a half ago, Jamee Kattner had never considered being in a pageant before. But then, a group of students mistook her for the then-Miss South Dakota. A few months later, following Kattner's voice recital, multiple people suggested she compete for the title. Man identified in fatal Monday I-90 crash 'Then I thought, well, that has to be more than a coincidence for more than one person to bring this up to me in the span of six months. And so I decided to take a leap of faith and jump into the organization,' said 2025 Miss South Dakota winner Jamee Kattner. And just this past week, Kattner won the statewide pageant- something she didn't see coming. 'Complete and utter shock. I think everyone thinks it can be them. But until you're down to that final two moment, I mean, I can't even truly remember what actually happened,' said Kattner. Now, she has three months to prepare for the Miss America competition. 'The first three days have been a whirlwind, and I'm assuming that's what these next three months will be like. A whirlwind. But yet I'm still so grateful for this opportunity,' said Kattner. For the next year, Kattner will represent South Dakota using her community service initiative, Melodies of Joy: Music's Power to Inspire. 'I'm constantly going into community spaces, EmBe programs, Boys & Girls clubs, schools, nursing homes, and spreading the joy and love of music that I have and giving that gift to others. I think the biggest impact that someone can make is service and having a servant heart,' said Kattner. First look at the Frank Olson indoor rec center Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
