Dale, Cuéntame ®

Dale, Cuéntame ® is an interview-driven show about people who have carried difficult stories and found a way to make those stories useful. It is mostly Spanish-language, with occasional English and bilingual stretches. The conversations move slowly enough for grief, faith, ambition, and public responsibility to sit together without being flattened into a lesson. A guest like Ingrid Honkala brings the show into near-death experiences, scientific training, depression, and the loneliness of having an inner life that others may not understand. Her episodes do not treat the extraordinary only as spectacle. They keep asking what such experiences mean for living, loving, and finding connection before crisis forces the question. Other episodes turn toward creativity. Elsten Torres speaks from the life of a composer and singer whose work touches pop latino, documentary music, family separation, authenticity, and the new pressure of artificial intelligence. José Luis Zabau’s conversation about Perpetuo shifts the show toward literary access, ego, risk, and the need for Spanish-language spaces that discover voices before the establishment approves them. The civic episodes give the same intimate treatment to public life. Dolores Huerta’s appearances center labor rights, civil rights, poverty, nonviolence, and the power of communities to act without waiting for rescue. Jacqueline Perez Valencia’s voting episode is more practical, but it still fits the larger pattern: citizenship is treated as care for oneself and one’s community. The show is not clinically detached. It often gathers a guest’s story into a moral or spiritual takeaway, then opens the next door with another generous question. Its best moments feel like a kitchen-table conversation that has wandered into consciousness research, music, literature, activism, and healing without losing its warmth.
