Hola my hent. It is alt-latino producer Anna Maria Sayer here, solo on the mic.

Felix is out taking some much-des deserved time off, so I'm taking

this time as an opportunity to let you all in on a little secret. I've been racking my brain,

trying to think of what to get Felix for the holidays, and all I keep thinking about is how he

loves Alt Latino more than anything in

the world. Well, anything besides the Grateful Dead, but you know. So that's when I came up with a

not to toot my own horn, brilliant plan to come to all of you with a small request that will make one wonderful Tio very happy.

If you're able to give anything at all to your local member station and show them that you

love Alt Latino and everything Felix pours into it, you'd be making his holiday dreams

come true. It's been an absolutely phenomenal year for us, a whole tiny desk takeover, loads of awesome

reporting, tons of really exciting video content, and most importantly, I was added to the team.

So, if you loved what we did this year and you want to put a smile on Theo's face,

then go to donate.npr.org slash alt-latino.

That's donate.npr.org slash alt-latino.
