Does the idea of listening to political news freak you out? Well, don't sweat it. The NPR Politics

Podcast makes politics a breeze. Every episode will break down the day's headlines into totally

normal language and make sure that you walk away understanding what the day's news might mean for you.

Take a deep breath and give politics another chance with the NPR Politics Podcast, available wherever you get your podcasts.

The news is about more than what just happened.

You need to know why it happened, who made it happen, how it's felt in the communities you care about.

NPR's daily news podcast, consider this, gives you all of that with context, backstory, and analysis on a single topic every weekday.

It's not just information.

It's what the news means.

Consider this from NPR.

From NPR music, this is Alt-Latino.

I'm Felix Contreras.

This week, a profile of the Cuban vocalist Bobby Cespides.

Now, she's a long-time fixture of the

African-Cubian music scene in the Bay Area. Some would even call her La Madrina. And she has a new

album out called Mujer and Cantante, woman and singer. But as you'll hear in this week's show,

there is much more to her that makes her music a rich and fulfilling experience.

And it all comes back to her embracing of her Afro-Cuban culture and everything she does.

Check it out.

It is very easy.

Once you know who you are to just say, okay, I'm going to do this.

And so I did. and still doing it. Bobi says for this, welcome to Alt Latino.
