    In these dark times, it is so refreshing to have a source of news and societal updates which inspire hope at the same time. A podcast which amplifies female and Latinx voices is especially critical. Thank you for all you do.

  • Amazing show!

    There are a lot of shows that start with a mission and lose their way, and I can say after listening to Tamarindo since the beginning, they have stuck to their message and continue to deliver quality episodes. That's something I appreciate...Reliability and quality. 10/10 highly recommend!
