Politicians Roasted Again at LPR’s Political Barbacoa
Cranston, RI (August 28, 2026) – On Saturday, August 29, Latino Public Radio will once again host their popular Barbacoa Politica (Political BBQ), an event that attracts Rhode Island politicians from both sides of the aisle!
LPR’s hosts will be Steve Klamkin and Reynaldo Almonte, LPR’s General Manager. Tune in to watch it live on lprnews.org or lprnoticias.com video channels.
Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent, LPR is the place to share your information with our Latino community. Our listeners depend on us for unbiased, accurate information, and our “Barbacoa Politica” gives them a real connection with their elected officials and candidates for political office.
In today’s hyper-partisan times, there is a constant battle to get out a version of news that fits a certain point of view. This feeds the divisiveness in our public discourse and causes conflict in the community. People are increasingly on edge and view the battle between Republicans and Democrats as a sign of our country imploding under the weight of uncivil discourse.
We at Latino Public Radio seek to provide a civil discourse where different points of view are expressed, explained, and debated so that our listeners can make informed decisions.
The public can watch it live starting at 6 PM on LPR’s video channels: lprnews.org or lprnoticias.com
