Podcasts posted this month:
Jeremy Klemin joins the pod to discuss his recent article in the Atlantic about how to categorize Portuguese people, and set out to resolve questions like: are Italians Latino, are Brazilians Hispanic, should Portuguese people benefit from Affirmative Action, does assimilation ruin everything, and most importantly, should Rosalia win a Latin Grammy? (don't expect any answers, though). We also discuss the wondrous world of Brazilian music.
Mother, author, pastor, entrepreneur, and my friend Thumbelina Newsome joins the pod to discuss suffering, hope, taking responsibility for oneself, parent-child relationships, and other topics she writes about in her new memoir Painful Gratitude.
