Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, "Taco" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: But I think I've saved my most controversial question for the last one on the book, which is, what is the best taco you have ever had so far?
Dr. Sánchez Prado recounts his favorite taco experience at El Bilsito, a taco stand in Mexico City, illustrating how the social and spatial context adds to the experience.
Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, "Taco" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: I want to stop in that just outside the subway for a moment, because you write about it so evocatively in the book. Can you give us a sense of kind of what are morning tacos, afternoon tacos, like what are the options here?
Dr. Sánchez Prado describes different tacos according to meal times, emphasizing how certain protein-heavy tacos are more common in the mornings, while smaller tacos are popular late at night.
Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, "Taco" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: But of course, food is a really big topic. So, why tacos?
Dr. Sánchez Prado explains that tacos are seen as very Mexican but also have variations in the US, making them a compelling subject for deeper investigation.
Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado, "Taco" (Bloomsbury, 2025)
Q: Could we start off with you introducing yourself a little bit, and then tell us why you decided to write an Object Lessons book and on tacos?
Dr. Ignacio Sánchez Prado introduces himself as a Professor of Mexican Studies and shares that his interest in gastronomy and tacos arose from a desire to explore cultural objects and their social significance.
Zeke Hernandez, "The Truth About Immigration: Why Successful Societies Welcome Newcomers" (St. Martin's Press, 2024)
Q: How does AI affect the need for immigrants?
AI will likely require different skills rather than replacing the need for human workers, and due to low birth rates, immigration may still be necessary.
