Leave it up to our friend Gerardo Danache to come up with a radio program that will explore local issues, goings-on and personalities.
Danache, a veteran of the Mexican diplomatic corps is hosting an hour-long program divided into two half-hour interviews to be aired live starting today and then repeated Saturday.
The first half hour of Ecos Fronterizos – broadcast live over 99.9 FM (Tu Estación) starting at 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. – will feature City of Brownsville attorney Rene DeCoss.
De Coss is a former district judge who until recently was also a judge on the municipal court. We're sure he has plenty to tell about the judicial process and the issues facing city government. It should be interesting radio.
The other interview, from 12:30 to 1 p.m., will feature yours truly, the publisher of El Rrun-Rrun blog. Here you will have a chance to hear me butcher the beautiful Spanish language and address some of the issues on local history, politics and culture.You will hear the origin of the Rrun-Rrun blog name, tidbits of local corruption and a bit of local history and lore.
We're not sure why Danache included us in the starting lineup, but we'll give it the old college try. I'm sure that if we touch on all the hot-button issues that affect out schools, our city and our region, we'll find something of interest for you to listen. Tune in. If anything, it may be informative, if not fun.
