Podcast #5 features Latino Soul author Kathy Cano Murillo, aka the "Crafty Chica," who introduces and reads her story "Dad, the Rock Star of Tamale Makers." Kathy's hilarious story recounts her father's superb skills as a tamale maestro, and his creative and comical (if sadistic!) way of dealing with meddling family members during one particular Christmas season. Listen in for Kathy's great introduction and spunky ready of her story, which is guaranteed to make your mouth water while you laugh at the family antics that you may find familiar.
