While we were putting together this week's show, we heard about a real life avenger with a secret identity in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Writer Yuri Herrera lived on the border for several years and spent a lot of time in Juarez. He went back there to see the what effect this secret avenger has had on the city. (13 minutes)
Yuri Herrera's books are available in Spanish. His latest is “A Silent Fury: The El Bordo Mine Fire.”
We commissioned this artwork of Diana the Hunter on the bus to go with his story from this artist named Alice Leora Briggs, who does incredible drawings of scenes from Juarez.
