I felt like the Spanish never enforced the law. Either that, or they didn't have laws. They drink in the streets, the kids don't have curfew, the cops don't enforce drug laws, etc etc.
This broadcast talks all about law.
Song: "I fought the Law"--The Clash

Ninth Radio Broadcast!
Living with Lola the dog was something new for sure, since I never had a pet in my life. The way Spaniards treat their dogs and how they walk them around without leashes inspired my ninth show on pets...which are called "Mascotas."
I have a couple interesting things to say about this broadcast...
You would wonder what they call mascots...they call them "mascotas" also. Although, mascots truly are an American concoction since their sports really don't have mascots.
The song used is "The Underdog" by Spoon. They don't have a translation for an underdog because it really doesn't exist. They don't have that cultural idea of surpassing mediocrity to get to greatness. That's an American concept.

Eighth Radio Broadcast!
Clearly schooling was different in Spain. Not just the education, but the culture of how to address teachers, how to dress in class, or whether or not it's okay to eat!
Here is my 8th radio broadcast on schools.
The song is "Me and Julio Down by the School Yard" by Paul Simon (one of my faves!).

Seventh Radio Broadcast!
I finally got around to uploading more of my radio shows. Not all of them are up yet, but at least I got to number 10!
Loly (the radio director) suggested I do one about women, since it was women's month in March. So here is my 7th broadcast, on women.
The song is "Just a Girl" by No Doubt.

Sixth Radio Broadcast!
Perfectly in time for earth day, I have uploaded my week six broadcast of my radio show (this was from over 6 weeks ago!) on the topic of the environment. It's so old, that when I uploaded it I cringed at how American my accent sounds. I think I improved...or so I hope.
I used TV on the Radio's song "Staring at the Sun."

Fifth Radio Broadcast!
This one is about the previous weekend's two big holidays: Carnaval and Valentine's Day.
The song is "Celebration" by Madonna. Of course.

Fourth Radio Broadcast!
This one is about fashion, clothing, and style.
Of course, the song is "Fashion" by Lady Gaga. It was very distracting trying to speak over that audio. Very, very difficult.

Third Radio Broadcast!
A little side note: The song I used, "Wheels" by Cake, contains an amusing lyric (PS: The group is from Sacramento)...
And the muscular cyborg German dudes dance with sexy French Canadians
While the overweight Americans wear their patriotic jumpsuits
If only I could just do a whole program on hating on Americans. It wouldn't be very hard!
