What did you grow up watching? Las Pochas reminisce on childhood tv (pinsas on the tele and all) and compare that to the Latinx reboot of One Day at a Time. And authentic or pandering? The first presidential debate included Spanish from a few candidates so we chew on that. Plus Colorado vs New Mexico in the great chile war of 2019 is our Que Hay De Nuevo subject.

And that means candidates start speaking Spanish, but Julian Castro (like many of us) has a complex relationship with the language. Put on your headphones and let's talk summer and speaking Spanish.
