Latina in FL

Being a latina in the state of FL, I appreciated the information on the episode on the boycotts of Ron DeSantis and the new laws in the state of FL. It is great to stay informed on everything going on.

Gen X and Z whining

A progressive blab fest that tries to politicize everything and whine about injustices and oppression. Fukn bore. Obviously never worked a hard day in their life

Long Live Punk!

Latino Rebels is always cutting edge and feeds my soul, but this episode was a reminder to this 55 y.o. former San Francisco Latina of the community of punk and the love of our music. This was nostalgic for me and oh how I long for a $5 dollar show…gracias!
