    Episode 11: Latino Heat

    It's Hispanic Heritage Month (until October 15th) and in this episode we share our earliest memories of hearing Latin, which were strong rooted in Adri's childhood. We discuss some of the iconic artists that brought the genre into mainstream & worldwide success that it has become today. From Santana to Shakira to Miami Sound Machine (who's cassette tape Jason's mom wore out), to Marc Anthony (who still took time to meet Adri backstage when he was down with the swine flu). So much Spanish fire in this episode, it will make you want to DANCE (and break a hip trying!)
