I understand

My family immigrated to Miami, Fl from Cuba in 1963. 60 years later Miami is very different since it has a huge Hispanic population and I will say I have become very Americanized. This Podcast has brought back a lot of memories of my youth in “Little Havana” as the predominantly Cuban immigrant area was called. Funny thing is “Little Havana” wasn’t and in my opinion still isn’t a slum.

Not the Best

The hosts act as if they showed for work this morning and were just handed the season 2 case to work on. There isn’t any sense that they have done any pre work on the story or tried to make earnest connections with the victims family or LE.
