The Borinqueneers were a kickass, all-Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican) unit of the US Army. These servicemen and women served honorably and with distinction during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
In this episode, covering the latter part of April 1951, we discuss the beginning of the Chinese Spring Offensive, Allied attempts to rescue trapped British troops, the Chinese Army's ferocious "conveyor belt" style of fighting, and the heroism of Master Sergeant Juan E. Negrón.

This episode continues with the UN push north toward the 38th Parallel during Operations Rugged and Dauntless. We explain Line Kansas, Line Utah, Line Wyoming, Route 33, and the Iron Triangle. We cover the arrival of more than 1,000 replacement troops from Puerto Rico, friendly fire incidents and tank battles.
We also tell the unbelievable true story of Sergeant First Class Modesto Cartagena de Jesús, the Borinqueneer nicknamed “One Man Army,” whose actions on Hill 206 earned him the Distinguished Service Cross and made him one of the most decorated Hispanic soldiers of the Korean War. The episode closes as Chinese forces launch the massive Spring Offensive of April 1951.

In this episode, we continue the heroic story of the 65th during the Korean War. Covering March 1951, we follow their key role in Operation Ripper as they helped retake Seoul and push north of the Han River. We then dive into Operation Courageous, the intense fighting around Uijongbu, the failed attempt to trap Chinese forces with the 187th Airborne, and their advance to the Imjin River. Plus, we highlight several outstanding Borinqueneers who earned Silver Stars and a Distinguished Service Cross for their extraordinary bravery under fire.

Today's episode feels a little selfish, because I wanted to record my parents and share a little bit of their story, in their own words.
First up is mom, with her signature mix of wisdom and wonderfully random stories.
Then, the heart of the episode: a longer, more emotional conversation with my dad, who turns 80 this year. He opens up about moving from Puerto Rico to the United States, the moment he met my mom (yes, he teared up retelling it), and the simple yet profound advice he's gathered for building a strong marriage and a long, happy life (¡it includes parrandas!).
This show celebrates famous Boricuas and big moments, but it's also about honoring the quiet, courageous lives of everyday Puerto Ricans. My parents are humble and grateful, and I wish to preserve their voices for our family and for anyone who needs a reminder of what's possible through resilience and love.

Part Three covers 1950, including Operation PORTREX, their entry into the Korean War, their heroism and victories on the battlefield despite obstacles that should not have been, their successful protection of the Marines' withdrawal from the Chosin Reservoir area, and their harrowing escape from North Korea on Christmas Eve.
*Los Borinqueneers fueron una unidad durísima, completamente hispana (mayormente puertorriqueña) del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Estos hombres y mujeres sirvieron con honor y distinción durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Guerra de Corea.

The Borinqueneers were a kickass, all-Hispanic, mostly Puerto Rican, unit of the US Army. These servicemen and women served honorably and with distinction during World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.
Part Two covers the operations in Europe during World War II, including one soldier’s account of fighting the Germans in the Maritime Alps during the holidays (roast porcupine, anyone?). Despite having to also battle racism, these brave soldiers made invaluable contributions that helped the Allies win the war.
*Los Borinqueneers fueron una unidad excepcional — todos hispanos, en su mayoría puertorriqueños — del Ejército de los Estados Unidos. Estos militares sirvieron con honor y distinción durante la Primera y la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y en la Guerra de Corea.
Parte Dos cubre las operaciones en Europa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, incluyendo el relato de un soldado sobre cómo peleó contra los alemanes en los Alpes Marítimos durante las Navidades (¿alguien quiere puercoespín asado?). A pesar de tener que enfrentarse también al racismo, estos valientes soldados hicieron contribuciones invaluables que ayudaron a los Aliados a ganar la guerra.*

Who would murder a 72-year-old woman who spent half her life donating generously to the less fortunate? Our quest to learn about the unsolved murder of the beloved Isabel Oppenheimer - owner of a legendary brothel called Elizabeth's Dancing Club - led to the history of prostitution in Puerto Rico and the shady underworld in which Isabel made a fortune.

Desconcertante. Misterioso. Incomprendido. ¿Es brujería, adivinación o simplemente otra religión? Tienen santos, ofrendas y rituales. Pero no hay templo, ni biblia, ni sábado que observar.
Respetuosamente exploramos los orígenes y creencias de esta práctica espiritual afrocaribeña centenaria.
Advertencia: discusión sobre el sacrificio de animales.

El 1 de agosto de 1970, un joven activista boricua llamado Rudolfo Rivera-Ríos subió a un vuelo de Pan Am rumbo a Puerto Rico… armado, decidido, y con un plan bien peligroso: secuestrar el 747 y llevarlo a Cuba.

¿Demonio juguetón? ¿Opositor a la colonización? ¿El colorido primo puertorriqueño de Krampus? Presentamos al Vejigante, un personaje folclórico enmascarado y locamente disfrazado de los días de la conquista española y la esclavitud africana en la Isla del Encanto. Hasta el día de hoy, los Vejigantes hacen su aparición durante dos fiestas principales: el Carnaval y la Fiesta de Santiago.

Félix Millán played 2nd base for the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets in the 1960s and 1970s. He was an outstanding, well-rounded athlete who put up amazing numbers both offensively and defensively. He was also a class act: a humble, quiet, hard worker who rarely missed a game.
Lifelong Mets fans Nancy and Chris discuss the Puerto Rican legend's life and career. El Gatito is Chris' all-time favorite Met because he famously choked up on the bat, just like he did as a little kid. Nancy recognizes his humble origins, faith and perseverance from her own family's history.
We were very excited to research and record this, and we hope you enjoy it.

Muchos puertorriqueños sienten una conexión con sus antepasados, incluyendo los taínos. Y cuanto más aprendemos, más nos roban el corazón. Hoy quiero compartir sobre el día a día de esta tribu nativa americana que vivía en Puerto Rico antes de la colonización europea, cuando la isla todavía se llamaba Borikén. ¡Incluso escucharás cómo suenan sus principales instrumentos musicales!

Talentoso. Carismático. Autodestructivo. Estamos hablando del premiado leyenda de la salsa Frankie Ruiz, quien permanece en nuestros corazones mas de 25 años después de su muerte con tan solo 40 años. Sus canciones eran romanticas y atrevidas (como en “Desnúdate Mujer”), honestas y puras (como en “Mi Libertad”). Nació y murió en Nueva Jersey, y era boricua de pies a cabeza (escuche su megaéxito “Puerto Rico”).
Tome este viaje mientras discutimos su temprano ascenso a la fama, sus demonios, sus regresos y su legado.

Como la mayoría de los seres humanos, los Boricuas disfrutan de sus bebidas adultas. Entre otras, está la omnipresente cerveza Medalla Light, pero la isla también cuenta con una serie de cervecerías artesanales de alta gama para todos los gustos. El clima de la región central también es propicio para el cultivo de uvas, lo que también conduce a la producción de vino y sangría.
Quizás disfrutes de este episodio después de las 5:00 p. m...

El Kokobalé es un arte marcial puertorriqueño único que combina la música de bomba con la lucha con palos y la esgrima con machete, y que tiene sus raíces en las tradiciones africanas y taínas. Originario de los africanos esclavizados que adaptaron sus danzas guerreras a la bomba, se convirtió tanto en una forma de autodefensa como en un medio de resistencia cultural contra la opresión. Aunque el Kokobalé estuvo a punto de desaparecer en el siglo XX, puertorriqueños entregados a su causa lo están reviviendo y preservando, utilizando las redes sociales para compartir su historia y su práctica. Hoy es un poderoso tributo a la herencia africana de Puerto Rico, símbolo de resistencia, tradición y lucha permanente por la libertad.

Kokobalé is a unique Puerto Rican martial art that blends bomba music with stick-fighting and machete fencing, rooted in African and Taino traditions. Originating from enslaved Africans who adapted their warrior dances into bomba, it became both a form of self-defense and a means of cultural resistance against oppression. Though Kokobalé nearly disappeared in the 20th century, dedicated Puerto Ricans are reviving and preserving it, using social media to share its history and practice. Today, it stands as a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s African heritage, symbolizing resilience, tradition, and the enduring fight for freedom.

Surely by now you’ve heard of the ubiquitous Bad Bunny. He’s something for everyone. Maybe you’ve heard one of his many hit songs, saw him bring fire to the Grammys, or caught his appearances on SNL. Perhaps you saw him in Bullet Train! There’s a good chance you’ve seen him in a Corona TV ad with Snoop Dogg. If you love fashion, maybe you follow his daring, gender-bending outfits. And if you’re a wrestling fan, you’ve probably seen him fight.
If none of the above is true, then you’re about to learn a thing or two about the award-winning Puerto Rican rapper taking the world by storm!
*Seguro que ya has oído hablar del omnipresente Bad Bunny. Tiene algo que ofrecer a todo el mundo.

Es muy probable que lo hayas visto en un anuncio de Corona TV con Snoop Dogg. Si te encanta la moda, tal vez sigues sus atrevidos atuendos que cambian de género. Y si eres fanático de la lucha libre, probablemente lo hayas visto pelear.
Si nada de lo anterior es cierto, ¡entonces estás a punto de aprender un par de cosas sobre el premiado rapero puertorriqueño que está arrasando en todo el mundo!*

Now go make yourself comfortable with a glass of eggnog or coquito and enjoy!

On December 24, 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo showed up at his ex-in-laws’ home dressed up as Santa Claus and unleashed a reign of terror upon an entire innocent family. What drove him to plan such violence? What happened that night? And how are the survivors doing today? We attempt to piece it all together in this episode (which does not involve Puerto Ricans, but does involve our brothers and sisters from a loving Mexican family). Warning: descriptions of violence.
El 24 de diciembre de 2008, Bruce Jeffrey Pardo se presentó en casa de sus ex suegros disfrazado de Papá Noel y desató un reinado de terror sobre toda una familia inocente. ¿Qué le llevó a planear tal violencia? ¿Qué ocurrió aquella noche? ¿Y cómo se encuentran hoy los supervivientes? Intentamos reconstruirlo todo en este episodio (en el que no participan puertorriqueños, pero sí nuestros hermanos y hermanas de una cariñosa familia mexicana).
Advertencia: descripciones de violencia.

Every culture has its urban legends. Some serve to explain the unexplainable. Some have a moral. And some are just plain fun, meant to creep us out. In this episode we explore the mystery of the Chupacabra, a reptilian creature believed to be mutilating animals throughout the island, and La Llorona, a heartbroken wife who drowned her own children as revenge towards her unfaithful husband.
Listen…if you dare!

Like most people on Earth, Boricuas enjoy their adult libations. Among others, there’s the ubiquitous Medalla Light beer, but the island also boasts a number of high-end craft breweries to suit any taste! The central region’s climate is also conducive to growing grapes, leading to wine and sangria production as well.
Perhaps enjoy this episode after 5:00pm. Drink responsibly!

Trigger warning: This episode contains gory details that may not be suitable for some listeners.
George C. Adorno began his criminal activities at the tender age of four. His youth was spent in and out of an overburdened juvenile court in New York City, until he was incarcerated for three decades for the murder of two individuals in 1974.
Ángel Nieves Díaz, nicknamed the Grim Reaper, was the first Puerto Rican to endure a botched state execution. As humans, do we feel bad, or did he get what he deserved?
Advertencia: Este episodio contiene detalles sangrientos que pueden no ser adecuados para algunos oyentes. *George C. Adorno comenzó sus actividades delictivas a la tierna edad de cuatro años. Pasó su juventud entrando y saliendo de un tribunal de menores sobrecargado en la ciudad de Nueva York, hasta que fue encarcelado durante tres décadas por el asesinato de dos individuos en 1974.
Ángel Nieves Díaz, apodado “Papo La Muerte,” fue el primer puertorriqueño en sufrir una ejecución estatal chapucera. Como humanos, ¿nos sentimos mal o recibió lo que se merecía?*

Mystifying. Mysterious. Misunderstood. Is it witchcraft, fortune-telling, or just another religion? They have saints, offerings, and rituals. But there’s no temple, no bible, no Sabbath to observe. And what about possession, or animal sacrifice? trigger warning
Growing up Catholic, we were taught to steer clear of Santería. Finally we did a little research.
Santería’s history is complex, created from blending two religions - one African, one European. It is practiced differently from country to country, community to community, and house to house. To this day it continues to morph and has even been attracting new followers.
In a short time, we have done our best to learn from reputable sources to shed some light and open some minds.
Desconcertante. Misterioso. Incomprendido. ¿Es brujería, adivinación o simplemente otra religión? Tienen santos, ofrendas y rituales. Pero no hay templo, ni biblia, ni sábado que observar. ¿Y la posesión, o el sacrificio de animales? *advertencia Al crecer como católicos, nos enseñaron a alejarnos de la santería. Finalmente investigamos un poco.
La historia de la santería es compleja, creada a partir de la combinación de dos religiones: una africana y otra europea. Se practica de manera diferente de un país a otro, de una comunidad a otra y de una casa a otra. Hasta el día de hoy continúa transformándose e incluso ha estado atrayendo nuevos seguidores.
En poco tiempo, hemos hecho todo lo posible para aprender de fuentes acreditadas para arrojar algo de luz y abrir algunas mentes.*

We’ve never NOT known who he was.
Somehow, 38 years was enough for him to become a Hall of Fame baseball legend, social activist, philanthropist, loving husband, devoted father, military vet, hero.
Somehow, 38 years was enough for him to capture hearts that weren’t even born.
Somehow, 38 years was enough for him to become a sacred part of Puerto Rican-American-Baseball history and culture forever.
We are proud to share the story of Roberto Clemente, who was taken from us too soon, and whose life continues to inspire half a century after his death.
*Siempre hemos sabido quién era el.
De algún modo, 38 años fueron suficientes para convertirse en una leyenda del béisbol del Salón de la Fama, activista social, filántropo, esposo amoroso, padre devoto, veterano militar, héroe.
De algún modo, 38 años fueron suficientes para conquistar corazones que ni siquiera estaban nacidos.
De algún modo, 38 años fueron suficientes para convertirse en una parte sagrada de la historia y la cultura puertorriqueña-americana-beisbol para siempre.
Estamos orgullosas de relatar sobre la vida de Roberto Clemente, quien nos dejó demasiado pronto y cuya vida continúa inspirando medio siglo después de su muerte.

Talented. Charismatic. Self-destructive. We’re talking about award-winning salsa legend Frankie Ruiz, who remains in our hearts nearly 25 years after his death at only 40 years old. His songs were sexy and daring (as in “Desnúdate Mujer”), honest and raw (as in “Mi Libertad”). He was born and died in New Jersey, and was Boricua through and through (check out his megahit “Puerto Rico”).
Take this ride as we discuss his early rise to fame, his demons, his comebacks, and his legacy.
*Talentoso. Carismático. Autodestructivo. Estamos hablando del premiado leyenda de la salsa Frankie Ruiz, quien permanece en nuestros corazones casi 25 años después de su muerte con tan solo 40 años . Sus canciones eran sexy y atrevidas (como en “Desnúdate Mujer”), honestas y puras (como en “Mi Libertad”). Nació y murió en Nueva Jersey, y era boricua de pies a cabeza (escuche su megaéxito “Puerto Rico”).
Tome este viaje mientras discutimos su temprano ascenso a la fama, sus demonios, sus regresos y su legado.*Links to sources in transcript.

The House of Horrors is brightened by the arrival of Jocelyn Jade Berry - Amanda and Ariel’s baby. Fatherhood does not soften Castro enough to change his evil deeds, yet he operates under the delusion that they are all one big happy family.
La Casa de los Horrores se ilumina con la llegada de Jocelyn Jade Berry, la bebé de Amanda y Ariel. La paternidad no suaviza a Castro lo suficiente como para cambiar sus malas acciones, pero él opera bajo la ilusión de que todos son una gran familia feliz.

Ariel Castro wreaks havoc inside and outside his house of horrors. While hiding in plain sight, he forces his three captives to live in terror, by a set of rules ranging from the inhumane to the ridiculous. And in a dark irony, he schemes to ruin another man’s life with false accusations of sexual molestation. Warning: disturbing content.
Ariel Castro causa estragos dentro y fuera de su casa de horrores. Mientras se esconde a la vista de todos, obliga a sus tres cautivas a vivir aterrorizadas, con una serie de reglas que van desde lo inhumano hasta lo ridículo.

The story of Ariel Castro, The Monster of Cleveland, hits home. Even before he abducted and tortured Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus in the early 2000s, he treated the mother of his children - our beautiful late cousin Grimilda - horrifically throughout their entire relationship. This is the first in a multi-part series that was difficult but important for us to research and discuss. Our love and respect to the families affected.
La historia de Ariel Castro, El Monstruo de Cleveland, llega a casa.

Close-knit and well-meaning, our families living in the US did their best to uphold Puerto Rican values, traditions, and customs. Sometimes those clashed with what the younger, US-born generation wanted.
With lightheartedness and maybe a chip or two on our shoulder (lol!), we go down memory lane.
*Muy unidas y bien intencionadas, nuestras familias que viven en los Estados Unidos hicieron todo lo posible para defender los valores, tradiciones y costumbres puertorriqueñas. A veces chocaban con lo que la generación más joven, nacida en los Estados Unidos, quería.
Con alegria, y tal vez un chip o dos en nuestro hombro (¡jajaja!), vamos por el carril de la memoria.*

Explore with us the origins and evolution of this important historical figure!

They called him La Bestia.
His favorite word was “vengeance.”
Serving jail time for allegedly stealing hens, Antonio Correa Cotto vows to get revenge on everyone involved in the case. He begins to carry out his promise, ending the lives of two and wounding four others until he is arrested and sentenced to life in prison. Less than a year into his sentence, he breaks out of prison in a huge riot suspected to be part of a Nationalist plot to take control of the island. During his year and a half as a fugitive, he would continue on his murder spree until the law catches up with him in a sugar cane field. Now who gets revenge?
*Lo llamaban La Bestia.
Su palabra favorita era "venganza".
Cumpliendo condena en la cárcel por supuestamente robar gallinas, Antonio Correa Cotto promete vengarse de todos los involucrados en el caso. Comienza a cumplir su promesa, acabando con la vida de dos e hiriendo a otros cuatro hasta que es arrestado y sentenciado a cadena perpetua. Menos de un año después de su sentencia, escapa de la prisión en un gran motín sospechoso de ser parte de un complot nacionalista para tomar el control de la isla. Durante su año y medio como prófugo, continuaría con su ola de asesinatos hasta que la ley lo alcanza en un campo de caña de azúcar. Ahora quien se venga?

In 1968, 25-year-old Francisco Antonio Garcia Lopez butchered his mistress in a jealous rage. He escaped from prison two years later. This began a collective terror that gripped Puerto Rico for nearly 30 years.
Today, we dive into the story of Toño Bicicleta, a poor farmer (jibaro), and one of Puerto Rico's most notorious murderers. His life and criminal career were convoluted, full of prison escapes and horrible crimes that in some cases he didn't even commit. His short life still provokes heated discussions about misogyny, machismo culture, mental health, crime, corruption, and colonialism.
*En 1968, Francisco Antonio García López, de 25 años, asesinó a su amante en un ataque de celos. Escapó de prisión dos años después. Esto comenzó un terror colectivo que se apoderó de Puerto Rico durante casi 30 años.
Hoy nos sumergimos en la historia de Toño Bicicleta, un granjero pobre (jíbaro) y uno de los asesinos más notorios de Puerto Rico. Su vida y su carrera criminal fueron enrevesadas, llenas de fugas de prisión y crímenes horribles que en algunos casos ni siquiera cometió. Su corta vida aún provoca discusiones acaloradas sobre la misoginia, la cultura machista, la salud mental, el crimen, la corrupción y el colonialismo. Acknowledgements:
Un millón de gracias a Toñito, el hijo de Toño Bicicleta, por hablar con nosotras y completar algunos de los detalles.

Many Puerto Ricans feel a connection to their ancestors, the Tainos. And the more we learn, the more they steal our hearts. Here, we chat about the day to day lives of this Native American tribe that lived in Puerto Rico when it was called Borinquen. You’ll even hear what their music probably sounded like!
Muchos puertorriqueños sienten una conexión con sus antepasados, los taínos. Y cuanto más aprendemos, más nos roban el corazón. Aquí conversamos sobre el día a día de esta tribu nativa americana que vivía en Puerto Rico cuando se llamaba Borinquen. ¡Incluso escucharás cómo sonaba probablemente su música!
Special thanks to Santos for composing “Mi Encanto Nuevo” for the intro and outro! Check out his music here:

Yovany: "The first sentence read in Spanish, when I was 2 or 3, was ' Matan dos en el ZM.'" Translation: Two people murdered in the Metropolitan Zone.
Just your typical day in a Puerto Rican-American household!
In our first full episode, we discuss a little of everything: Puerto Rican history, our parents' stories of arriving as teens in the US, and our childhood. Our goal for the show is to share, hear, and learn from ALL of our stories growing up Latin in the US. Join our conversation! Laugh, cry and dance with us!
"La primera frase que leí en español, cuando tenía 2 o 3 años, fue 'Matan dos en el ZM'".

Also - correction - farm worker program referred to was NOT called "Operation Bootstrap." That was different, and will be discussed in a later show. Nancy regrets the error.
We are two sisters, Yovany and Nancy, who were born in New Jersey but raised VERY Puerto Rican. We're here to share the experiences, struggles, and absolute JOYS of growing up bicultural. All topics are up for discussion, from food to religion! We hope you'll check it out, and share YOUR stories too - whether your family is Boricua or anything else!
Bienvenidos a todos!
