Historias de la familia, amor, aventuras, y desventuras dichas por la gente de nuestro país.

Stories of family, history, love, adventures, and misadventures as told by the people of our area - small communities of Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado: Amalia, Arroyo Hondo, Arroyo Seco, Cerro, Costilla, El Rito, Garcia, La Lama, Latir, Questa, Red River, San Cristobal and Sunshine Valley. These podcast episodes are recorded in front of a live audience at a monthly story-sharing event at the Questa Public Library. Michael Rael is the MC and curator for this monthly gathering hosted in collaboration with Questa Library and Voices of the Northern Rio Grande. Each episode invites you into the “uncut” experience of the event. Stories from these gatherings are shared here on this podcast and are also part of the community’s digital archive.

The “Voces de Nuestro País Podcast” is hosted by Michael Rael, recorded by Claire Coté at Questa Library, uploaded by Dan Frank Digital Design and produced by Voices of the Northern Rio Grande in collaboration with Questa Public Library. Music is by Michael Rael.
