    Capítulo 160: No Sabo Kids

    Capítulo 160: No Sabo Kids

    After Diosa went VIRAL for discussing the history of language violence, we noticed many people questioning the validity of that history. In this episode, we dive into the history of language violence in the American Southwest, Mexican-only schools, and the modern-day pochos, aka No Sabo Kids.  

    Listeners from around the U.S., share their experience with the Spanish language. From reformed no-sabo kids to a transracial adoptee, listeners share their experiences with their cultural identity. 

    Thank you to Gia, Paula Zaremba, Doctora Rene Lemus, Breana Quintero (aka Bre Burrito), Jenna Palacios, Marissa Reyes, and Rebeca Ruiz for contributing to our audio archive.

Lana Del Lena ,

AMAZING! Locatora Radio guided me through my coming-of-age :)

I love Locatora Radio! Mala and Diosa will never fail to make you laugh while you learn. I have never written a review for a podcast, but if any podcast is gonna get me to rave about them then it’s locatora radio. I have been listening to Locatora Radio since I was a junior in high school and I’m so happy that I can say this show has only continued to grow & that I am still able to listen in as a senior in college. As a queer Chicana in Kansas, my coming-of-age was brutal but Locatora Radio put words to my experience. I have learned so much and this show was my real introduction to Chicana and Latina feminisms. Thank you so much!
