On this week’s episode, we’ve dedicated it to NYC Spanish-language radio. We interview the controversial Dominican radio star “El Pacha” and ask him about why he’s such a lighting rod for controversy, the surprising reason he left Telemundo’s Acceso Total and his blunt and truthful opinions on Luis Jimenez’s new radio show on Univision. Also, we chat with NY radio royalty - Carolina Cadillo Skywalker. We discuss how she got her big break in radio, the creation of the Skywalker last name, criticisms of her Spanish, and her first encounter with radio fame. It’s an interview not to be missed. That, plus a review of “Pirates of the Caribbean 5” and a recap of the top stories in US Latino pop culture this week!
