Description
A storytelling podcast where your host, Jay Castro, navigates connection to his CHamoru heritage and the people from the Mariana Islands. Red Rice and fina’denne’ sauce is a staple to the CHamoru cuisine, and it's been part of our people for a long time. The rice is stained with achiote, and the fina’denne’ sauce gives traditional dishes like red rice, a pop—a taste that has you going back for more. And just like red rice and fina'denne', this podcast will talk story—but that’s the pop—that talk that’ll have you coming back for more. Learn more at https://hafaadai.org/
