This is the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese – New York Metropolitan Chapter’s inaugural podcast.

My name is Alan Hartman and I am the Program Director of Modern Foreign Languages at Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, New York, where I also teach Spanish and Italian.

Recognizing the need for a podcast to discuss issues relating to Spanish and Portuguese faculty during this time in the pandemic, my colleagues and I have come together and have been working throughout the summer to make this podcast available to you.
