You Can Call Me Gringo (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I explain why the mezcal glasses in Mexico City cantinas have a cross on the bottom, why my apartment 601 is on the seventh floor, and why I'm not buying the Green Grow the Lilacs explanation for the word gringo. I also stab myself with an EpiPen.

Gringa Tacos, Cineteca & Leaving for Bogotá with Fernando Marquez (opens the original)
Read excerpt

My ex-landlord also called to tell me he's suing me for a hate crime. Please show some support for the podcast and get access to some extra content by subscribing to t

I met Jonathan Wiest in a dysfunctional Spanish class in Mexico city, soon after he hitchhiked from the Texas border to Vancouver with $500 and a sign reading "north and west." We talk about what he found — conspiracy theories, roadside prayers, a truck named "Murdered," and a lot of friendly people stuck in an unfriendly country.
