We’ll start with a clip of from Rojas Contreras’ performance at City of Asylum in July 2019, then we’ll transition to an interview we just did with Ingrid, some conversation, and finally we’ll get to what we’re reading and some thoughts for the road. We'll be talking spiritualism, writing and identity, as well as that time Adriana tried to buy some contraband and ended up with Something Special.
