Join us for the Season Premiere  as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 2024! In this special bilingual episode, we highlight the vibrant diversity of Hispanic culture and history. We're featuring guests from our last season and showcasing our traditional yearly Spanish celebration. Join our guests in this joyful episode, recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic communities on the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. Enjoy!

Hispanic Heritage Month, originally established in 1968 as National Hispanic Heritage Week, was created to honor the anniversaries of independence for several Latin American countries. In 1988, it was expanded to a month-long celebration, fostering a deeper appreciation of Hispanic and Latino contributions to American culture. Today, it serves as a vibrant platform for cultural festivities, educational programs, and cross-cultural understanding, emphasizing the vital role of Hispanic heritage in shaping the American mosaic.

A big thank you to all the guests from our last season! Your stories, insights, and contributions have made a lasting impact on our listeners, and we're so grateful for your time and dedication. Your voices continue to inspire, and we’re excited to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month 2024 with you! They are:
