This week we visit with premiere Chicano science fiction author Ernesto Hogan who has just published a new collection of what he calls gonzo science fiction stories. From a story about alien visitors from space who only understand and communicate through Chicano graffiti to an alternate universe where Pancho Villa has a spaceships and death rays, these stories are truly mind-grabbing. Check out Ernesto talking about the stories in his latest collection.
Also this week, Sal Baldenegro returns with his Political Salsa y Más. This week he looks at the inherent hypocrisy displayed by Trump evangelicals who seem ignorant of the true contributions made by a liberal society and who fail to see the hypocrisy of their words and deeds.
Jose Umpierre returns with his Burundanga Boricua del Zocotroco blog. This week he takes a bit of a departure from his usual focus on Puerto Rican politics to look at his newly discovered love of cultivating bonsai plants. What does bonsai have to do with being Puerto Rican? Check out his blog an you’ll find out.
And, of course, Ricard Romo returns with his Tejano Report. This week he looks at the art work and activism of San Antonio artist Terry Ybanez.
