I do interviews to lots of people from all over the world but mostly Mexicans, cuz, you know, I live down here and so.
It airs on cerebro.fm every Wednesday and Thursday and I also upload each episode as a podcast to poderato.

Hit PLAY and you'll be able to listen to the latest episode of "¿Cómo que de qué?"
