- Democracy Needs a MicrophoneApr 15, 2026 · 40 minWelcome to My Limited View with Sergio Novoa.
How many times have you heard someone say,
“That’s a violation of my First Amendment rights!” Usually right after getting banned from a Facebook group. Or muted at Thanksgiving.Or fired for tweeting something wild at 2 a.m. In this episode, we’re breaking down what free speech actually means, what it doesn’t mean, and whether you really support it…Or just support it when it agrees with you. Before you shout “That’s unconstitutional!” again…You might want to listen.
- Built to CraveFeb 12, 2026 · 22 minYou ever wonder why you can’t eat just one chip? Or why chicken tastes different than it did decades ago? In this episode, I break down how the food industry engineered salt, sugar and fat to hit your brain’s “bliss point,” how fast food reshaped American farming, and why profit became more important than public health. From factory-raised chickens to feedlot beef to grocery store manipulation, we’re unpacking how the system was built—and what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: it’s not a willpower problem. It’s a design problem.
- Pilgrims, Lies and Pumpkin PieNov 28, 2025 · 16 minThis episode digs into the real history behind Thanksgiving—far beyond the feel-good myth. We look at Indigenous civilizations before Columbus, what actually happened with the Pilgrims, how the holiday was invented, and how land theft became policy. It’s direct, factual, and mixed with humor to make the truth easier to take in. If you want a clearer, more honest understanding of the holiday, this is the episode to hear.
- The Myth of the Free RideOct 30, 2025 · 31 minAffirmative action and DEI have become lightning rods in today’s culture wars, but how much do we really know about where they came from and why they exist? In this episode, Sergio breaks down the long history of systemic racism in America, from slavery and Jim Crow to redlining and modern hiring bias. You’ll learn what affirmative action actually is, what DEI really means, and how both have shaped access, opportunity, and fairness for everyone not just a few. This isn’t about guilt. It’s about awareness. Because when you understand the history, you start to see the patterns. And once you see them, you can’t unsee them.
- From Fruit to Freedom: The Brutal History of Women’s Rights in AmericaSep 29, 2025 · 21 minWomen make up half the population, but their rights have always been treated like a special request. In this episode we dive into the real history of women’s rights in America: from forced sterilizations and credit card restrictions to the myth of the 19th Amendment being a universal win. We exposes how progress has always come with an asterisk and why women’s rights are the ultimate test of any democracy.
- Who Pays for America?Aug 4, 2025 · 16 minEver wonder where your federal tax dollars go? Spoiler: it’s probably not your neighborhood. In this episode, we follow the money and it leads straight to states that take more than they give, complain the loudest, and somehow still get to make the rules.
- ImmigrationJul 16, 2025 · 25 minImmigration. It’s a topic that ignites passion, confusion, and often division. These days, the word “immigrant” can split a room in half and not always politely.
But here’s the truth: whether documented or undocumented, immigrants have always been part of the American story. They’ve built railroads, harvested crops, launched companies, cared for families—not just their own—and they’ve done all this while paying billions in taxes.
