Early Latino history dates back centuries to 1613, when notable figure Juan Rodriguez arrived in New York City from Santo Domingo. Ever since then, Latinos have taken this city—and the surrounding metropolitan area—by storm. In modern times, Cubans settled in New Jersey's Hudson County. Neighborhoods like El Barrio and Loisaida in Lower Manhattan became the centers of Puerto Rican culture. Dominicans established strong communities in Washington Heights and Inwood. Later, Latinos from Mexico, Central and South America reshaped neighborhoods across the five boroughs and beyond. On this episode, we'll spotlight Latino scholars, leaders, community activists, entrepreneurs, and entertainers. They are "Tiempo Trailblazers and Unsung Heroes.

With the devs behind RimWorld gearing up for their next game with a recent engine switch, it'd be entirely fair if you were hankering for something new (if still familiar enough) yourself. Trailblazers: Into The March is one such game, having introduced itself to us earlier this year, a mishmash of the aforementioned colony sim, Nausicaa, Moebius, Andrei Tarkovski, Jeff Vandermeer, and FTL: Faster Than Light by Edwin's measure. And now you don't just have to look at its trailers, because there's a demo for you to have a go at. "In today’s demo, we have packed in so much for you to explore. From overcoming dangerous excursions to battling threatening foes," explain developer Strangers of the demo. "Take on contracts from the fixer and build out your perfect Trailblazing crew! " If you've not actually clocked roguelite colony-sim Trailblazer before today, you are said titular Trailblazer, a captain of a landship which are essentially big, honking, vaguely animal-shaped, Shadow of the Colossus sized crafts you pilot across the ground, taking on similar such opposing vessels.

Laura Benanti is not a big star. Suggest otherwise and she will laugh as she denies it, even as she acknowledges the generosity of the suggestion and her own luck. Even so, as an accomplished Broadway performer (with five Tony nominations and one win), an actor in acclaimed movies such as “Tick, Tick… Boom!” and “No Hard Feelings,” and a familiar presence on television — from “The Sound of Music Live!” to recurring roles on “The Gilded Age” and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” the latter as the definitive Melania Trump in many people’s hearts — she drew the attention of audiobook and podcast outlet Audible, which suggested she create a show for its Audible Originals series. She initially jumped at the opportunity. Then came the pandemic and a sinking feeling: “I don’t know if a middle-aged white lady is the voice people are clamoring for right now,” recalled Benanti on a video call from her New Jersey home as her two young daughters puttered around the room. “I just kind of stopped writing it, and then they called and were like, ‘Remember when we paid you and you didn’t do it?’ So then I had to write it for real. And as I was writing it, I just kept thinking, Nobody cares.
