What is our story beyond that? I believe everyone has got a bit of wisdom in them. In this podcast, I will have fun and fascinating conversations with citizens from around the globe, who travel in various paths of life. We will listen to their stories, learn, laugh and love. My hope is that their stories will feel a lot like our stories, and we may perhaps recognize a lot of us in them.

Don’t Cry for Me Puerto Rico
Episode 70
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
I sit down with Puerto Rican comedian, writer, actress, and activist Corinne Irizarry for a deep‑dive discussion about Puerto Rico—an unincorporated territory of the United States, an annexed island that gives the U.S. some Caribbean street cred. As a native New Yorker, Corinne brings several nuanced perspectives on the Puerto Rican diaspora, from mainlanders to island‑born Boricuas. She holds nothing back, expressing her deep passion for her culture and her people in the way only truly proud puertorriqueños can.We also discuss the Bad Bunny phenomenon and that incredible cultural benchmark: the Super Bowl LX performance. In that moment, a slice of Puerto Rican lifestyle, history, and culture was on full display for the world to see. Irizarry speaks candidly about what it feels like to be treated as a “semi‑American,” to be seen as non‑citizens when Puerto Ricans are not only U.S. citizens but an integral part of the nation’s culture and identity. Corinne Irizarry is a proud Spanish‑speaking Puerto Rican who also happens to be a proud American.
