  • Good info but

    Info is good, one host just keeps smacking his lips into the mic while the other host is talking, let alone when he’s doing it. I mean come on, you are broadcasting.

  • I love it!

    I’ve been looking for a place to get my Mexican news in English, and this is a Gold mine. The two journalists are so knowledgeable, and really help you understand issues, providing the necessary background to give it context. A message to Jose Luis and Kurt… I would love to donate, but I have no idea how. Can you provide information in your next podcast?

I also now have a crush on Shein... more
