“Listeners heard the KPFT special around the country, including during WBAI’s Wakeup Call yesterday. And now we’re getting requests for copies, so I wanted to share the program. For those of you seeking it, here is a copy of the Cinco de Mayo special as today’s podcast of the day.

Although the date is not covered extensively in history books, Cinco de Mayo celebrates one of Mexico’s most legendary skirmishes, the Battle of Puebla. “
