By Madeleine Brand • • 52m ListenUSA soccer fans were heartbroken yesterday when Portugal forced a tie in the last seconds of the World Cup game. We talk about what’s next for the team. Plus, we take a closer look at the Spanish-language media market in Los Angeles and why it’s harder to quantify than the rest of the media. Plus, there’s been a surge in undocumented, unaccompanied children crossing the U.S. border in recent months. We talk to a woman who’s been working with them. We also debate whether understanding computer code is becoming as important as understanding the English language. And we get a roundup of the latest news coming out of the TV industry.
