Once I discovered this podcast, I could not stop listening! Have had it on while I exercise and any chance I got in the car. I felt heard and seen as a born and raised South Texas girl from the 90s. It really made my heart happy hearing snippets of the Johnny Canales show as well as the Tejano music I was used to watching & listening growing up. I was very sad listening to the last episode because I did not want it to end. I would LOVE for it to continue & hear more from fans and artists!

Drop the playlist J.B.! I love this podcast! I feel seen/heard as a tejana. A Tejana who grew up in the 90s in Dallas between hip hop, Alternative, and Tejano

What this podcast does is open up the circle to those of us that grew up with and were influenced by Tejano music. Hearing how artists used that influence to create their own sound was something that needed to be finally recorded for others to hear. Keep the episodes going, because it will be a reference point for future generations.
Great series
