This week on The Little Radio Show we continue our conversation about the recent elections and how they’ve affected our relationships with friends and acquaintances. (This is part two of a conversation we began in Episode 69.)

We also talk about 2016 -- what we liked, didn’t like, and what we accomplished. And, yes, we take a look at what we’d like to accomplish in 2017.

“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 help Anjelica celebrate her birthday (did you know we LOVE birthdays?). Join us as we wish her a happy birthday. And we ask the question: Are you supposed to thank every person who sends you a birthday greeting on Facebook?

We share part 1 of a two part conversation about the election of Donald Trump, what his becoming President-elect has meant to us and what we hope (and fear) about the new administration.

And she share a throwback segment: we share our favorite Christmas memories. (This segment originally aired in 2016).

This week on The Little Radio Show we continue our conversation with Ashley Amanda Segura, the voice behind New Mom in a New Era, and we bring in Jeff Segura, from The Daddy Style Diaries. Ashley blogs about being a young mom to a 1-year-old and other parenting and lifestyle topics. Jeff blogs about fatherhood, fashion, and other lifestyle topics.

We originally invited Ashley to come onto the show to discuss how she handles it when people — especially in the blogging community — say (after being introduced) “oh, you’re Jeff’s wife!” This is in spite of the fact that she began blogging before Jeff (her husband) and actually has a larger audience. In this episode we bring in Jeff to get his point of view.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk with Ashley Amanda Segura, the voice behind New Mom in a New Era. Ashley blogs about being a young mom to a 1-year-old and other parenting and lifestyle topics.

We invited Ashley to come onto the show to discuss how she handles it when people -- especially in the blogging community -- say (after being introduced) “oh, you’re Jeff’s wife!” This is in spite of the fact that she began blogging before Jeff (her husband) and actually has a larger audience. And we’re still trying to figure out why. Listen in and tell us what you think … and, be warned, this is part 1 of a two-part conversation. Next week’s episode includes us bringing Jeff into the studio to talk about this from his perspective.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about all things nerdy (from an entertainment point of view) ...

... the end of TV show "Person of Interest," considered to be one of the best science fiction shows on the small screen ...

... and our opinion on season 6 of "Game of Thrones" and the secrets revealed in the season finale ... did you know that there's a mariachi version of their theme song? (We can thank my co-host Juan Alanis for pointing this out ...

... and yes, Wilmer Valderrama was in the television version of "Minority Report" and will be on NCIS starting the fall (it somes up in conversation) ...

... and 'The Walking Dead" show creators added new characters and don't let the comic books dictate the entire storyline, which provides some nice surprises for die-hard fans ...

... and "True Blood" (on HBO) did the same thing, though not as well ...

... and, did you know that the song "Happy Birthday" was copyrighted? Well, it's not anymore! Which means that the company that had claimed to own the copyright will have to pay back $14 million. It also means that the song is in public domain, and we don't have to pay to use it in movies, etc...

... and, from the word nerd files, the words "internet" and "web" are no longer capitalized, according to Associated Press. So, even though you may not have been capitalizing them (up until now), now you'll be correct.

  • The importance of College and technical skills & how the lack of fund can impact your ability to take an internship.
  • A conversation about how we’re dealing with our parents and grandparents getting older, from logistics to emotion
  • And one of our conversations wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory talk on Latinos in entertainment.
