Hyphenación

Hey, que onda? Welcome to Hyphenación, a podcast hosted by Xorje Andrés Olivares where conversation and cultura meet. What kind of no sabo word is Hyphenación? For us, it’s about living within a hyphenation. Like being a third-gen Mexican-American from the Texas border now living that Bay Area Chicano life—like Xorje! Each week we bring together a couple of hyphenated Latinos to talk all about personal life choices: family, careers, relationships, belonging … everything is on the table. We love listening to shows about culture and identity like Tamarindo, It’s Been a Minute, Latina to Latina, Vibe Check, Locatora Radio, and Dear Millennial. If you like them, too, then you’ll enjoy Hyphenación! So start listening!
