We also speak with Shereen Marisol Meraji, one of the hosts of among the best podcasts in any category, called “Switch Code” and presented by NPR.Shereen recently did a story on the 100th anniversay of the Jones Act, which gave Puerto Ricans American citizenship. What that means, what that feels like, what the Diaspora is about, was the focus of her program. On Vaya, we ask her about her Puerto Rican identity and how the work of putting together her program felt to her.
Then we speak en español, con Ariadna Goenaga, crítica de cine por exelencia, sobre el valor del cine en esta época dominada por Donald Trump.
