This week on Under the Radar:

At-large city councilors Michelle Wu and Anissa Essaibi George topped the field in Tuesday's preliminary Boston mayoral race. How did Greater Boston's Latino voters impact the election results? And, as the COVID-19 delta variant spreads, so too does disinformation about COVID among Spanish-language sites. Plus, National Hispanic Heritage Month kicked off last week, but critics say it needs a rebrand.

That and more on our Latinx roundtable.

Guests:

Julio Ricardo Varela, interim co-executive director of Futuro Media Group, co-host of the “In The Thick” podcast, and founder of Latino Rebels.

Tibisay Zea, senior reporter at El Planeta in Boston.
