On today’s show, guest host Carlos Dávalos is in conversation with historian Jorell Meléndez-Badillo about Puerto Rico’s role in global pop culture, solidified by Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance. Meléndez-Badillo has worked with the artist on several projects, including the half-time show, and he shares what the public discourse around the world’s oldest colony means for the future of Puerto Rico studies.
