$353B+ in trade crosses through Laredo every year — more than the Port of Los Angeles.
Most of America can't tell you the name of the city it moves through.
THE PORTCAST — in partnership with Port Laredo, driven by Brennan & Company, produced by D111 FILMS U.S.A.
This is Episode 1. Before we sit down with the people who actually move North American trade, we're telling you who we are and why this show exists.
If you're watching this, there's a good chance you already live in this world. You clear entries at 4am. You chase a driver stuck at the bridge. You're deciding whether to move a plant to Monterrey. You're financing a warehouse on Mines Road. You've spent twenty years in this corridor and watched national coverage get it wrong every single time.
This show is for you.
Laredo is North America's Leading Trade Gateway — the busiest inland port on the continent — and until now, the corridor had no media voice of its own. The biggest stories about this place kept getting reported from somewhere else, by people who have never crossed the World Trade Bridge. THE PORTCAST is a broadcast-grade interview series reported from the actual #1 port: the command center where carriers, customs brokers, developers, manufacturers, and city leadership come to talk about cross-border logistics, nearshoring, and the future of US-Mexico trade.
