This week, we reflect on Dia de Los Muertos, talk about unique ways folks celebrate the holidays, and leave you with a calma practice you can use ahead of those difficult moments with family. We also speak to Mariah Castañeda, the host of the hit new podcast “SmokeScreen: The Sellout.”  Mariah is a Los Angeles reporter who covers local politics, environmental issues, and  immigrant rights issues. Her work has been featured in L.A. Taco, the New York Times, Voice of OC, and Fusion.  “SmokeScreen:The Sellout” podcast is produced in collaboration with grassroots media organization L.A. TACO. It is an investigative series about corruption, gentrification, and the city council member that sold out his community in favor of big developers.
