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.

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.

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!
