That's so awesome about the podcast website. I'm really excited about having my students learn how to make them. I was actually really surprised to learn that many of my students didn't know what a podcast even was. 

As for the book, it's entertaining for me since most of what I read are the classics for my classes. However, I am definitely seeing a lot of stereotypes popping up in the book. I can see Soto's aim...but I think he could have portrayed Hispanic culture in a little better light.  I'm just curious to see how Marisa continues to deal with the issues of both her old and new schools.
