This is probably the best podcast I had listened to!!! Todos los episodios son brutales! La nostalgia me invadió en uno que otro y arrancó un par de lágrimas, la emoción que envuelve escuchar relatos de una isla que deje ya hace muchos años es infinita. Acá en los estados fríos y sin ese calor...Read full review »

Wepa! I caught La Brega around the time I decided to return back to la matria. That episode on the potholes is how I connected with Cheo. Really appreciate how the episodes are in both languages. It’s great to have a podcast about us, by us & for us.

Representation matters and I love this podcast. I grew up on the island and despite now living in New Jersey for over a decade, the soul always longs for a piece of your culture. This podcast/reporting is done incredibly well and proves that you never should stop learning about your people. Thank...Read full review »

Wow
Wow. No escribo reviews nunca. También soy muy cauteloso con lo que escucho acerca de PR. Todo está tan “biased”. Pero tengo que reconocer que este podcast está “brutal”. Y escribo justo después de escuchar el No.7 (season 1)- Se acabaron las promesas, con lágrimas en los ojos y desde la diáspora...Read full review »

Soy una puertorriqueña nacida y criada en la Isla. Tengo 51 años y aunque conozco mucho de los relatos, aprendí mucho con las distintas historias de nuestra amada Patria. Los felicito y les agradezco. Le daré publicidad con mis conocidos. Gracias

No puedo ver como en general alguien puede comparar a Rafael Hernandez (RH) con Bad Bunny (BB). Si es cierto que BB ha escrito algo de protesta como también lo hizo RH, pero la mayoría de sus canciones son de índole vulgar. Por favor…

This podcast has taught me more than my parents did about PR and our history. We are first generation mainlanders - Nuyoricans - and I feel more connected a mis raíces ahora más nunca. Gracias por crear este podcast, aunque sea hermoso y doloroso, es importante que nosotros aprendemos nuestra...Read full review »

No hay límite, ni fin! Ojalá y siguen p’alante con la creación y los cuentos. Me tanto orgullo compartirlos con mi hija desde Chicago. Boricuas hasta en la luna!

Un podcast con mucho contenido y profundidad. Les recomiendo su atención.

I absolutely started of loving this series. Discussed many issues and experiences that I related to and lived through. By season 2 it was evident that the show made a complete political “left” turn. Season one did a really good job of just sharing the experiences, season 2 can be a fun listen if...Read full review »

Me gustaría q mas personas en la isla supieran de esta joya de show. Excepcional. No se q van a hacer en season 3 pqe season 2 fue un absoluto home run. Bravo!!

I love this podcast. It is very, very well done. It has helped reconnect with my beautiful island. Remember so many important issues and history. Also, learning more that should be talked about much more. Echa pa lante Boriqua!! Aquí te apoyamos!

I’m an 🇺🇸American born with 🇵🇷Puerto Rican, 🇮🇪Irish and 🇮🇹Italian roots in the melting pot of NYC, NY this podcast is a joy to listen to and learn from. I have family living in Puerto Rico who have endured for decades and whose lives and stories have been infused by “La Brega”. This brings more...Read full review »

A tribute to a people an island. Deeply meaningful to anyone thinking about identity and place; beautifully produced; thoughtfully written. Un orgullo escuchar esta obra
Yamijig via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/23
What a great podcast show. Finally, a show that marries the Puerto Rican and diaspora experiences together to demonstrate a rich tapestry of a people who live in two worlds.
Osvaldini via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/23
Listened to the first episode of La Brega S2 Ep3 Suavemente about the war between Merengue and Salsa. It was awesome, I am hooked! I am a Puertorrican married to a Dominican who lived in both places during that time. This episode brought so many memories of going to dances, listening to both...Read full review »

I typically don’t listen to fiction podcasts. If people enjoy them, great. Just not for me. This week’s episode was a fiction episode so I skipped. An anthology podcast of fiction inspired by latino music might be great. Run this episode on that podcast.
AV252 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/23
Thank you for creating this beautiful catalog of history that many of us didn’t grow up with! We need a third season!!!!
maridae14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/23
beautiful storytelling- depth, compassion, humor, possibilities, and with a critical eye to how colonization still lives within us.
juliet'a'libre via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/23
I just happened upon this podcast and its been a delight. Growing up in the diaspora as a Nuyorican, I often feel so far removed from the island, its people, and its history. Listening eased some of those feelings of missing something I’ve never known. I’m blown away by the power of story telling...Read full review »

I’m not PR but I love your podcast love learning more about PR. But why does the podcast continually plays one podcast after another? Is there a setting in missing. Thank you for your work.
Milcia7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
Soy un super fanático de La Brega. Yo conozco bien la historia de Puerto Rico pero escuchando La Brega he prendido otro lado de la historia de Puerto Rico que yo no conocía. Y creo que esta segunda temporada es muchísimo más mejor que la primera.
Coqi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/23
I love learning things I didn’t know about my home and it’s so entertaining. Thank you for this beautiful and educational resource. Gracias.

Amazing podcast!
gobananago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/23
Found this podcast by chance or by luck let say it was meant to be .. I have shared it with all my family &amp; friends.. some of the history me da un coraje pero how can we change it, if we don’t learn it and share it and teach it. Keep up the great work !!

I just listened to the Simón episode and I am so moved. I am Peruvian, grew up in Chicago in the 90´s around a lot of Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Colombians and we all listened to « El Gran Varón » The dance group I was part of in college did a choreography and the performance included Simón being...Read full review »

More fun than Ted Lasso - the highest compliment of 2022/2023.

A Dominican girl has a special place for Puerto Rico. The storytelling of this podcast is what has me listening twice. I love it please keep it coming because is important to have stories be told.

What a beautiful and well researched podcast. I am looking forward to this new season.

Puerto Rico is a special place and I love learning new things about the Island.

Such good news! Excellent show!
ARsVoice via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/22
I’m an expat (military) and will live in Puerto Rico for a little over 5 years. I said “exactly” many times throughout this podcast. I also felt like so much was explained, why certain things were the way they were here. I wish there were more episodes 😊😉
danimarti654321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/12/22
The Puerto Rican history many of us had heard about (e.g. operation bootstraps and bringing a plane full of snow to San Juan) but didn’t really know or understand. Thank you for a fantastic anthology. I hope to hear more episodes in the future.
Svazque1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/22
So glad this podcast exists now. Puerto rico is a fascinating place you don’t hear much about on the mainland.
miss dannon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/22
A well-produced podcast that teaches a lot about Puerto Rico. A nice mix of topics — heavy and light, wonky and sporty.
Akragie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/22
Hope for more episodes.
divebookreader via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/22
Many stories about life within a failing system, an universal theme told with great sensitivity, insight, and humor. Thank you!
diogenesthedog via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/22
As I traveled more often to PR I wanted to learn more about the culture and country… and came along this podcast…. I must say it’s one of my fav now… raw, real and an eye opening stories… I love you guys ❤️ can’t wait for new episodes….
Ana Stasía via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/22
Americans need to hold our politicians accountable and demand that they make Puerto Rico a priority. After listening to this podcast I realize how messed up the status of Puerto Rico is. I don’t have a strong opinion about whether is becomes a state or becomes independent, that should be decided...Read full review »

I haven’t been captivated by a podcast in a long time, and La Brega changed that! Thank you so much for this wonderful production and for all the wonderful Spanish vocabulary!
MegaMcSara via Apple Podcasts · Spain · 01/05/22
Great storytelling and historical context. But silent regarding structural causes of PR’s challenges. In an ideal world there would be another five episodes that take a critical and balanced look at the source of PRs ills.
