    Coming Soon: Rico en Sueños

    The island of Puerto Rico has been in the news a lot for the past few years. However, many of us still don't know much about its people and their history, and the little we have learned rarely comes from Puerto Rican voices. With that in mind, this season on the Power of You in Fiction, we present "Rico en Sueños". We'll talk to Puerto Rican creators about their relationship with the island, how it influences their work, and what they hope to share about the island with the world.

    Soy Taino: El Sol y El Coquí

    And. We. Are. Back! For another good and (hopefully) long time.   Welcome to Rico en Sueños, the inaugural season of the Power of You in Fiction Podcast. For episode one, titled Soy Taino: El Sol y El Coquí, Wilson and Lu journey back into time to look at how the Taino people have influenced creators of Puerto Rican heritage, the island itself, and the world at large. They also talk to two Puerto Rican creators, Ronnie Garcia and Alexandra Román, who have taken inspiration from their Taino ancestry to create amazing works of fiction.   For more of Ronnie's work visit - www.coquiwi.net and follow @coquiwi.   Find Alexandra's work at: www.alexandraroman.com and follow @AlexandraRoman.   Many thanks to our supporters, you can join them by subscribing to our patreon.   Credits: Vanessa Flores, Audio Engineer Deviant Sounds, Composer Vanessa Flores, Cover Art

They've got three fabulous and phenomenal guests for this episode -- Esmeralda Santiago, Isabel Dieppa, and Venessa Vida-Kelley -- who reflect and share their thoughts about the prominent cultural influence the people of Africa brought to the island of Puerto Rico during their enslavement, and how the blending of African, Taino, and Spanish traditions helped to shape Puerto Rico in the country it is today.   You can find all of Esmeralda's works via her website and follow her on Twitter - @Esmo.   For all things Isabel check out her website and her Twitter - @IsabelSDieppa.   For more of Manu and Venessa's works visit here and here, and also follow her on Twitter - @VScrivanoKelley (she's a big Wayward Son fan!)   If you're interested in the "War Against All Puerto Ricans" recommendation, consider purchasing it from your local bookstore OR picking it up at your local library.

    Puerto Rican Enough?

    Welcome back podcast fam! The PoYiF team is excited to get back into groove after their mid-season break and finish off their journey of exploring the reciprocal impact and influence art and identity have had on the island of Puerto Rico and its people. This episode will tackle the tension many members of the Puerto Rican diaspora experience with being a person of two identities or "bi-cultural" as guest host Navani Otero puts in. So join Wilson and Navani as they try to grapple with what it means to be "Puerto Rican Enough".   As mentioned by Lu in our ad, our composer Deviant Sounds sustained some major injuries via a car accident.
