This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about many different things.

Snapchat surpassed Twitter in active daily users. Yep, that means that Snapchat continues to become a major force for brands.

YouTube “celebrity” couple PrankvsPrank broke up, and they’re blaming vlogging for the breakup.

The Brock Turner rape case sentencing (and many would say “lack of sentencing”) sparked outrage. And a lot of it was due to his father’s now infamous letter.

In TV news, we’ve gotten confirmation that Eva Longoria’s “Telenovela” has been cancelled so don’t expect a new season next year. The same sad news was given to fans of the new animated series “Bordertown.”

Have you noticed Instagram’s new logo. We share our feelings on the very different updated logo of this social media giant.

When can you (and can’t you) call yourself an immigrant? If you were born in a foreign country? If your parents come to the U.S. from another country? What about if your great-grandfather was the one who immigrated here? We tackle this question and give our (conflicting) opinions.

Did you hear the news about a weathergirl in California who was handed a sweater to put on over her dress (on live TV) because the station had gotten complaints about it over social media? Uh huh. We had a lot to say about that.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about the new USA network’s show “Queen of the South.” It’s an American adaptation of the internationally-renowned Spanish-language telenovela “La Reina del Sur,” which was produced by Telemundo and starred Kate del Castillo. It’s also based on the book that started it all, authored by Arturo Pérez-Reverte.

The USA version will star Alice Braga as Teresa Mendoza. Supporting cast includes Justina Machado, Peter Gadiot, Hemky Madera, and Gerardo Taracena. Here’s a trailer for your enjoyment.

Of course, it wouldn’t be “The Little Radio Show” if we didn’t veer off topic a little. This week we discuss the status of Latinos in entertainment and why we don’t see enough roles for and by Latinos on TV and Film.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, this week we’re dedicating our entire show to the wonderful women in our lives who also happen to be mothers. Whether it’s our own mom, ourselves, a sister, a niece, or someone we don’t yet know, every person dedicating their time and energy to raising a family deserves a little recognition.

This Mother’s Day we spent a little time with style and parenting influencer New Mom in a New Era who shared a little about her journey as a young mother. We also reminisced about some of our most memorable moments with our own moms.

From celebrities, musicians, actors, and influencers who are pretty well known themselves, Hispanicize 2016 was the gathering place for Latinos in the U.S. earlier this month. They were there to connect and network with one another, as well as what founder Manny Ruiz might argue was the primary reason for #Hispz16, to make an impact.

We were in Miami for the full week of both the first inaugural DiMe Summit, which took place one day prior to Hispanicize, and for the seventh annual Hispanicize 2016 event. The week was definitely action-packed and thought provoking.

So much so, that we are dedicating an entire episode to all things Hispanicize. Tune in to hear directly from founder Manny Ruiz about the importance of Latinos uniting as one community; a very inspirational keynote speech by Texas’s own Lizzie Velasquez, and her parents; as well as a brief excerpt from Vine superstar, Lele Pons on what it means to be a part of a global social community. And we’ll even reveal the official dates for Hispanicize 2017!
