#314:

L.A.'s musical vibes are a mix of cultures -- stop on any street corner and you'll hear 80s radio hits, rock en Español, contemporary pop, or reggaeton blast from all sorts of cars over the roar of traffic.

Join us for this episode, where we explore the history of remixing Spanish sounds and cultures to create radio hits, and talk with Girl Ultra, a contemporary artist who's touring songs in Spanglish that are just as inspired by Britney Spears as they are by Mexico City. 



Guests: Mariana de Miguel, aka Girl Ultra; Professor Nathian Shae Rodriguez

#315: It’s Halloween! So we’re bringing you a slightly spooky episode today. Actually, whether you think it’s spooky really depends on how you feel about cemeteries —and Hollywood Forever Cemetery isn’t just any cemetery. Today, the Hollywood Forever is probably best known as the site of Cinespia’s popular outdoor movie screenings, which have been going on for more than 20 years, but the history of the cemetery itself goes back much further.

GUEST: Karie Bible, Hollywood Forever’s official tour guide
