On this episode of The Little Radio Show we talk to a representative of Houston’s premier Latino arts community center, Talento Bilingue de Houston (TBH). We discuss some of Hollywood’s latest blockbuster productions: “Straight Outta Compton” and “Fear The Walking Dead.” And we take a jab of answering that age old question “what’s in your purse?”

Anjelica and Sandra share the must have items they can’t leave the house without having in their purses. While Juan tries to comprehend why women like switching out purses so often, when he can keep a wallet for years on end. Links from this episode:

Try Asking Them.” The article takes a look at their methodology, “appreciative inquiry,” and how the approach has impacted how they work with communities in and around Houston.
