Today I had the pleasure to talk to a fellow podcaster and extremely creative and talented young lady, Ms Marielle Vizcarra.  She is the creator and host of the "That Show Effed Me Up" podcast.  She just finished season 1 of her podcast where she watched and talked about the Netflix show, House on Haunted Hill.  She covered this show because, like the title of her podcast says, it effed her up.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to former Calexico City council member and now Imperial County board of supervisor for district 1, Mr Jesus "Cachu" Escobar.  Growing up in Calexico, politics wasn't something Mr Escobar aspire to do.  As he grew older and started a family he felt there was a lot of needs for Calexico/Imperial Valley residents so he decided to run for Calexico City Council.  He soon found out that he could do a lot more as a member of the board of supervisors.  Mr Escobar talked to us about issues he's constituents are  dealing with currently and plans for the future.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to the founder and CEO of Best S.T.E.P Forward, Ms Jacqueline Riddell.  As a coach and mother she felt there was a huge need for sports leagues for special needs kids and their parents.  Being a coach she soon after started a soccer team for kids with special needs and started looking for other kids who wanted to play with her kids and it just snowballed from there.  Today BSF serves a lot of our families with special needs kids from around the valley.

Today I had the pleasure of talking to the talented Heric Rubio.  Some of us might remember reading some of Heric's stories when he wrote for the IV Press, Heric studied journalism but one of his stories made him realize he was more in love with food than he was with writing.  Heric left the valley to go learn how to cook, in the process he teamed up with the taco king himself Esdras Ochoa he soon found himself in Hong Kong and there he had some crazy experiences!!

My guest today are two Imperial Valley natives who wrote and illustrated a children's book to bring awareness on the near extinction of a beautiful creature who lives very near to us, the vaquita.  Although the vaquita wasn't discovered until 1958 it only took a little over 60 years for humans to bring it to the brink of extinction.  Ruben and Sheyla hope that with this children's book they can bring awareness to this issue and inspired kids to save not only the vaquita but other endangered species out there.  Sheyla and Ruben have started a Kickstarted to help them fund the publishing of their book, they plan on donating some of their copies to libraries in our area.

Check out Ruben's and Sheyla's Kickstarter!!
