Answering the questions this week: Freddy Cruz

The Greater Houston area has heard Freddy’s voice for more than seventeen thousand hours across three decades. When he's not in the lab writing or creating auditory satisfaction, you can find him nose deep in a book, snuggling with his dog Sparrow, or jogging in his neighborhood (trying not to sound like a horror movie villain). Freddy is the founder of Speke Podcasting, home to shows like Let’s Talk About Your Breasts, hosted by The Rose’s co-founder and CEO Dorothy Gibbons, The Final Curtain Never Closes, hosted by The National Museum of Funeral History CEO Genevieve Keeney-Vazquez, Beauty Unveiled by Dr. Angela Sturm, and Everything Why, hosted by inventor Mike Martin. Freddy also hosts the podcast Cruz through HTX and is the author of three novels, When America Fell Silent, They Canceled the DJ, and Allow Me to Ruin Your Christmas. His work has been hailed by Publisher’s Weekly, Houstonia Magazine, Galveston Monthly, Black Texas Magazine, and Reedsy Reviews.
