The way a song makes you feel is largely influenced by the adventure you had in discovering it or rather, in it discovering you. For some, the adventure looked like landing on a radio dial at the perfect time. For Los Angeles-based Salvadoran Poet, Yesika Salgado, with this particular song, it looked like witnessing a song create a safe space for her father to cry. It looked like realizing how music speaks to the purity of the heart. As a two time National Poetry Slam finalist and the recipient of the 2020 International Latino Book Award in Poetry, this conversation with our guest, Yesika, is undoubtedly poetic.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
