Let's be honest: We'll make any excuse to talk with Elizabeth Hargrave, the Kennerspiel-winning designer of Wingspan, Mariposas, and Tussie Mussie. So our current excuse? We wanted to talk to her about her soon-to-be-released The Fox Experiment (published by Pandasaurus) and Undergrove (by AEG). So now we can nerd out about how Elizabeth marries a (usually) nature-related theme to game design -- and all the random things we've learned about the world and each other while board gaming.

Timeline:

• 2:13 - Going Analog's pick: Virtual Revolution.
• 6:26 - Elizabeth's pick: The Search for the Lost Species.
• 13:56 - Going Analog's topic: Behind the scenes of Elizabeth's design process.
• 26:27 - Elizabeth's topic: What have you learned (about the world, yourself, or your friends) from games?

Sonia and Anjelica chat with Mayra Garcia and Ashley Escamilla of the Mariachi Mariposas, one of the few all-female mariachi groups in Texas! The ladies discuss the differences in co-ed mariachi groups and why having a sisterhood in the Mariachi Mariposas means so much to them. It all comes down to mutual respect and it looks like they've mastered this gracefully! We are truly looking forward to seeing them in future shows. Give this one a listen today, and share this with the ladies in your life!

When it comes to dictators, Latin America has had quite its fair share of these, with both left and right-wing figures having subjugated and terrorized populations of several countries in the Caribbean and Central and South America throughout the decades. The Dominican Republic does not forget its own tyrant – Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, “Generalísimo” – who could basically do anything he wanted without consequence.

That is, until a brave family of fearless women decided to stand up against him and say the word he never thought he would hear: “No”. A tale of tragedy, hope and rebellion, this episode of our Learn Spanish with Stories podcast tells the tale of Las Mariposas: The Butterflies.
