Getting to Know Us, Part 1: Interview with Daniel Topete

Thank you to everyone who listened to our trailer, we are inspired by your kind words and energized by each of you asking us when the first episode would stream. In an effort to introduce ourselves to you all, we are starting our podcast journey with interviewing each other. Today’s podcast is part 1 of an interview with my co-creator, co-host and above all my friend, Daniel Topete. Danny is also a caring teacher and scholar; he teaches Chicana/o Studies at CSULA and we met at the University of Minnesota,Twin Cities in Minneapolis, MN where we both completed our PhD's in American Studies. His research focuses on the importance of Chicanx popular culture and music in shaping new identities and possibilities for Chicanx and Latinx communities.
