On this episode, we wanted to celebrate former co-host of "Una Hora Con Primo," Wile Quintana, who died earlier this month at 78. We're featuring a conversation he had with former Marfa Public Radio intern Mia Warren in 2015. They talk about what it was like to grow up in Marfa in the forties and fifties, and how Quintana became an amateur historian. 

Later, writer Rachel Monroe talks to poet and Lannan resident Natalie Diaz. She’s the author of the collection of poetry When My Brother Was An Aztec. Her forthcoming book, Postcolonial Love Poem, will be published in 2020. She currently lives in Phoenix and is the Maxine and Jonathan Marshall Chair in Modern and Contemporary Poet...
