The CultureHug Podcast
CultureHug is a podcast that brings people closer through the power of real talk, raw stories, and radical empathy. Created by a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a deep passion for cross-cultural connection, CultureHug explores what makes us different—and what brings us beautifully together. Each episode dives into a wide range of interesting topics—from decoding cultural norms, challenging bias, to exploring the role of food, traditions, and historical trauma. With the help of Ai under the guidance of an psychotherapist, we’ll ask the bold questions you’ve been too afraid to voice, and share practical skills to help you connect across cultures with authenticity and respect. Whether you’re curious, confused, or simply craving deeper connection in a divided world, CultureHug is your space to learn, unlearn, and grow. One hug (and one episode) at a time.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
