Wednesday's podcasts stories
Latino home ownership is on the rise
Almost 50% of Latinos in the U.S. owned a home in 2020, according to a report from the Hispanic Wealth Project, a group monitoring U.S. Hispanic wealth creation.
But Latinos are still 2.3 times more likely to be in forbearance and 1.5 times more likely to be delinquent on payments than white borrowers.
Axios Re:Cap talks with Axios’ race and justice reporter Russell Contreras on the uptick in Latino homeownership and the financial troubles they are also experiencing.

A new Cold War brewing?
The Financial Times recently reported that China launched a possible nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August. The possible missile launch drew comparisons to the Soviet Union's 1957 launch of the Sputnik satellite.
But it’s complicated. China says it was a routine spacecraft test, but the launch caught U.S. intelligence by surprise, according to the Financial Times.
Is calling this a new Cold War the right way to think about it?
Axios Re:Cap talks with Axios’ China reporter Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian on what all this means for U.S.-China relations.
Why China’s hypersonic missile test matters for the U.S.
China tested a hypersonic missile last August, according to new reporting from the Financial Times. China says it wasn't a nuclear-capable missile, but a routine spacecraft check. So how worried should we be?
- Plus, more tension between the Joes: Biden and Manchin.
- And, remembering former Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Guests: Axios' Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian and Hans Nichols.
