Wish it was still going!

I really love this podcast and the perspective it brings to specifically the midwest as I live there. I’m trying to learn spanish and the bilingual nature of the podcast is ideal for me! I just wish they had continued the podcast, there’s nothing else out there lurks it.

Awesome

Such a great listen! I’m not Latinx but wanted to find a podcast with spanish to keep up my grammar - I found that I could relate to a lot of these episodes, being the daughter of an Asian immigrant and having grown up in the Midwest! Others are super interesting as someone who is not a member of the latinx community. In general, really well told!!
