Hey, que onda? Welcome to Hyphenación, a podcast hosted by Xorje Andrés Olivares where conversation and cultura meet. What kind of no sabo word is Hyphenación? For us, it’s about living within a hyphenation. Like being a third-gen Mexican-American from the Texas border now living that Bay Area Chicano life—like Xorje! Each week we bring together a couple of hyphenated Latinos to talk all about personal life choices: family, careers, relationships, belonging … everything is on the table. We love listening to shows about culture and identity like Tamarindo, It’s Been a Minute, Latina to Latina, Vibe Check, Locatora Radio, and Dear Millennial. If you like them, too, then you’ll enjoy Hyphenación! So start listening!

In Latino culture, it’s often expected that we someday become caregivers for our parents or other family members. Anyone who has taken on this role can tell you that it's hard and demands some big sacrifices. This week o

There’s been much debate amongst Latinos about the proper term to use when addressing the community-at-large. Who exactly is included in the word Latino? Who is left out of their own demographic based on appearances or p
