132: Why to Learn Spanish, with Craig Johnson

We're delighted to welcome back Craig Johnson - of Fifteen Minutes of Fascism - to chat about the politics and value of native English speakers learning other languages, especially Spanish.

Episode Notes:

Spanish language papers:

Pagina12: left Peronist, Argentina: www.pagina12.com.ar
Proceso, Mexico: www.proceso.com.mx
elDiario.es and Público, Spain: www.eldiario.es, www.publico.es

Again, not an endorsement of these as the best and most perfect news sources in the world, they have their own biases (esp regarding their own domestic left), but good for different perspectives.
