Hear all about the laughter and fun had when she went to see "The Parenting Musical", a hilarious show about raising children, including a song on the "official mom uniform"—yoga pants...playing now at Theatre Row on 42nd Street in NYC. See link below for more information. Then...guess who's back? Founder and Executive Director of The New York Latino Film Festival, Calixto Chinchilla. This is Calixto's fourth time on the show, and Rachel promises, he will be greeted with a two-slice toaster and an embroidered jacket next time he is a guest. The two stroll down memory lane, including Rachel's involvement, growth and a full circle moment she's had with #NYLFF. She started as a red carpet correspondent back in 2009 & 2010, starred in and voiced the commercial, spoke on a panel, served on a Q&A after the screening of a feature film she co-starred in, and it's only right the podcast continues to support the lights of nuestros filmmakers. The two also speak on the films playing this week, the ancillary programming and opportunities this robust festival has to offer this Hispanic Heritage Month in NYC.

On this week's episode, Rachel and Frank hit the road to record across New York City in the all new 2022 Buick Enclave Avenir. The vehicle's first-class seating for up to seven made for a comfortable mini road trip as we scooped up and packed in our culture-shifting guests. The conversations flourished and laughter ignited across all three rows of seats. Shout out to the Director of this episode, Joe Fucarino/Jersey Media. While Frank took the wheel, Rachel took the mic! We got to kick it in 2022 Buick-style with the Executive Director of the NY Latino Film Festival, Calixto Chinchilla. Then we made a pit stop at the Nuyorican Poet's Cafe to chat it up with the Executive Director and super-talented poet, Caridad De La Luz aka “La Bruja”. Last but not least, we zipped uptown. Frank was our navigator while Rachel DJ'd the ride by connecting her playlists to the vehicle's awesome sound system with Apple Air Play. Once uptown we scooped up Founder of Uptown Collective, and Social Media Strategist for NYLFF, Led Black. We hope you enjoy this episode from the road!
