    Este es un episodio especial en español de Atlas Linguae en el que hablamos con Bryan Rey (@bryanreyy_).

    Michael (@juanbago) is the creator behind the hilarious Juan Bago, a Dominican New Yorker best known for his candid “man-on-the-street” style of comedy. He and Jaime (@jfernz), who co-wrote and co-directed the Audible series “Michelle Rojas is not Okay” are both cohosts of the “Translators Podcast” (@translatorspodcast), an interview show centered on in-depth conversations with Latine creators.

    No, I’ll pay the bill
    Oct 19 2023
    Did you know that the tradition of arguing over who pays the bill, an all too common scene in Arab families, has a cultural significance? Our latest guest on Atlas Linguae, Toufic Braidi, talks about how one of the things he misses the most from his life in Beirut are these heated, but ultimately wholesome and well-meaning arguments over who pays for a meal at a restaurant.
