Our Editor's Take

On the Chicano Shuffle podcast, Ramon, Esteban, and Fernando discuss whatever comes to mind. The three friends sit together in "some vato's" garage in Los Angeles and share their thoughts. Since 2017, they've offered listeners laughter, knowledge, and support. Puppy Stella guards the studio. They intend the podcast for "native Spanglish speakers." They ask everyone to join the fiesta.

The Chicano Shuffle podcast says listeners will hear American Spanglish. The three "degenerates" also warn listeners of occasional crude humor. From the theme song, podcast listeners know they're in for a fun time. "We love our fans and hope you like this," they sing. "If not, oh well." The song rolls on until their conversation begins. With plenty of tacos to keep them going, the hosts discuss "misterios del pulpo" and "sloppy Sunday." Their favorite day of the week has the most incredible mornings.

In one podcast episode, they reminisce about being teenagers. Teens work hard to impress each other and will do all sorts of dangerous things. The hosts recall doing wild driving stunts and discuss what it's like to see their sons reach that stage. Kids still set off illegal fireworks, worry parents, and keep the neighborhood awake. They discuss whether it's worth calling the police or if it'd be too late when they arrive.

In another podcast episode, Ramon explains why he likes gaps and how weird traditions continue. One of their girlfriends fills the gas tank while her car is on. Her mom told her that's how to do it. Why, they wonder? What was wrong with her car that she thought the engine should stay on? The conversation veers to car troubles and which models are the least reliable.

In "No Somos Nada," Ramon, Esteban, and Fernando discuss offending people. They then discuss the Spanish colonization of Mexico. Podcast listeners never know where the conversation will go. For instance, in "Puro Delicado," the three record from a parking lot. The ambient noises become part of the discussion. In another episode, guest Chapo shares tips for getting the right protein.

Chicano Shuffle releases new episodes every Tuesday.
