Summary
Introducing Classy with Jonathan Menjivar, a new podcast from Pineapple Street Studios. People like to pretend class doesn’t exist. But really, most of the time, we’re just ignoring it because it’s uncomfortable. Classy is a show about what happens when the class tension is so blatant you just can’t keep quiet about it anymore. It’s a collection of surprising stories, juicy and uncomfortable interviews, and engaging segments that explore the ways that class infiltrates our day-to-day lives. In the host seat is veteran podcast producer Jonathan Menjivar – a working-class Latino kid who joined the media elite and became someone who likes oysters, wears cashmere socks, and is very conflicted about all of it. Available wherever you get your podcasts.

| 1:15.2 | or having a lot of coffee. |
| 1:18.4 | And then she says, and the crowding isn't helping either. |
| 1:26.0 | It's true. |
| 1:27.0 | My teeth are all jacked up in the front. |
| 1:29.2 | It looks like they're all huddled together trying to keep warm. |
