Pinche Parti(cipation)

Today’s episode is about SuperBowl ads and the American Identity. We’ll be discussing ads we’ve seen in the most recent Super Bowl just last week, as well as some others from the past, and generally what our society has long understood as the American identity. Essentially, what does it mean to be American? What does ‘being American’ look like?
