Esta semana cambiamos y entrevistamos a nuestra madre (nuestra invitada favorita de todos los tiempos) sobre la llegada de nuestra familia a Cuba y su eventual escape en 1960. Mientras Fanny cuenta nuestra historia de origen, nos divertimos jugando a "Cast Away", decidiendo qué actores famosos interpretaría a los diferentes personajes de la historia. Alerta de spoiler: hay mucha discusión sobre Andy García. Enlace en bio para un poco de historia Jewban (cubana judía).
