In our current stage of capitalism very few things highlight our god-given blessing of democracy like the annual Spotify wrapped. Whomst among us will dare defy the invisible hand? In what will prove to be the hot girl dudes rockingest collab of the year, Hot Girl Agenda and Machete y Mate come together to navigate identity as both diaspora and homeland kids, parenthood as dirty commies, and looking to our past in order to build the future. From the middle of the Pacific to Chicanismo to the middle of the Caribbean our experiences aren't the same but they rhyme. Check it out for just the tip of the iceberg and maybe the first of many?

Welcome to this week's free episode! This week Yesi and Rara take a sabbatical from hotness and focus on what really matters: discussing Nancy Reagan's throat game.

Plus: Justice for civil rights icon Claudette Colvin, the amazing bell hooks, and vampire queen Anne Rice.

_TW/CW: AIDS, s*x acts, racism, misogynoir _
