This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Juan’s first Uber ride and Sandra’s excitement over the return of “The X-Files” on television. We have an interview with Jamila Velazquez, Yani Marin, and Raquel Castro of the television show “Empire.” And we give thanks for the good things in our lives this Thanksgiving.

Uber has disrupted the taxicab industry and regularly makes the news either with compliments on the service or concerns. Juan recently tried Uber for the first time and we discuss his impressions of the service.

Before the SyFy channel, before the recent shift that has made science fiction trendy and cool, there was “The X-Files.” It started out as a low-budget show that became a worldwide phenomena, with everything from aliens and government conspiracies to Big Foot and ghosts. And then there was Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, played by David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson; they were the so-good-looking and incredibly intelligent federal agents who investigated the cases. The show has been off the air for more than 20 years and is being brought back for a limited six-episode run in 2016. Sandra talks about her excitement over the return of the show.

In its second season, the runaway hit television show “Empire” has added several new characters to the show. The show’s inclusion of Latino characters and guest stars is helping draw Latino audiences. TLRS has a great conversation with Jamila Velazquez, Yani Marin, and Raquel Castro who play the Mirage a Trois girl group on the show. We learn about how they got started, what’s it like to work with the award-winning cast, and what we can expect in the upcoming episodes of the show.

What are your Thanksgiving traditions? We talk about what we’re doing today with our families and friends, how we’re celebrating. And we discuss what we’re thankful for this year. What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

“The Little Radio Show” is on HMSNetRadio.org on Thursdays at 2 pm (CST). The show hosts are Sandra Fernandez (@sandrasays), Juan Alanis (@juanofwords), and Anjelica Cazares (@la_anjel).

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Anjelica’s visit to “Great Day Houston” and the television shows we’re in love with this week. We have a great interview with Kristal Howard of The Kroger Co., who talks with us about Thanksgiving. And we discuss approach the question: are restaurants better with or without tipping?

Anjelica had her premier on live television with a guest appearance on “Great Day Houston.” She did a show and tell on affordable Halloween costumes. You can view the show here.

Our guest Kristal Howard, or The Kroger Co., talks with us about how to plan for Thanksgiving, and how to use Kroger’s Community Rewards to ensure that every purchase you make benefits your community.

There’s a new trend in restaurants to phase out tipping. Is this a good move or a bad move? Listen in and let us know what you think.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Ancestry.com’s new Ancestry Mexico, about the actors and actresses we love, and a spotlight on adoption in the US as part of a look at National Adoption Awareness Month.

Ancestry.com recently added 220 million searchable historical records from Mexico, including birth, marriage and death records. These records date back to the 1500s. In addition, they launched Ancestry Mexico, a Spanish-language interface for those who want to use their tools to search their family histories.

We are joined by our friend Leticia Manzano for an entertaining conversation about the actors and actresses we love, both for the “babe factor” and their acting. Among those we discuss are Denzel Washington, Matthew McConaughey, Shamar Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Merryl Streep, and Julia Roberts.

According to ChildWelfare.gov, there are more than 100,000 children in foster care waiting for permanent families. November is National Adoption Awareness Month, when social service agencies throughout the country work to educate the public about adoption. We talk with Leah Adams-Sutherland about her journey to becoming an adoptive parent, some of the things prospective adoptive parents should know, and shares some resources:

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk with Suzette Cotto, CEO of Innovate Social Media, about using social media for business growth. We also have a discussion about baby-friendly restaurants and whether or not other customers should be more understanding about disruptions.

In the In Case You Missed It segment:

If a baby acts up in a restaurant, are the parents supposed to leave if the crying won't stop or are the other customers supposed to be understanding about the situation? We tackle this question in our discussion about "baby-friendly restaurants." The conversation was prompted by this story.

Suzette Cotto, CEO of Innovate Social Media, counsels her clients on how to build organic contacts with social media, and how to use social media to help you get your business started. Find more information about her and her business at www.innovatesocialmedia.com.
