      <title>5 Year Old Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. A certain 5 year old boy is not supposed to play with my camera, but at that age rules are negotiable. Given the inspiration and the opportunity, he decided to record a post of his own. He saw me recording and decided to follow the format.

I present to you Magnus Mata. Magnus shows life from his perspective through this video. This is his first solo recording, so rather than get on his case for the unsteadiness, I'll praise him for having the gumption to get started. 

If you are a podcaster or video caster, don't worry about getting it perfect. Just get it out there.]]></description>

      <title>Interview with Bob Gammage</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I got a chance to sit down with Bob Gammage at the University of Texas
Pan American in Edinburg. He had a few moments to share his views with
me regarding a couple issues that affect the Rio Grande Valley and the
state of Texas as a whole.

The audio captures Gammage but not me as I was not planning on doing 
an interview. Here are the questions I asked:

So, I was asking you earlier, why did you decide to run for governor?

Do you have any plans for the RGV when you become governor?

What do you see as far as your role as far as violence on the border 
goes.

Do you have a good relationship with Republicans in Congress?

I meant like in the Texas Legislature.

Do you have any plans or initiatives planned for when you become 
governor?

What kind of changes will you be making in healthcare?

In Hidalgo county or along the border, tuberculosis is a big 
healthcare problem. The county has had a shortage. Does the state help
counties with indigent healthcare?

I appreciate your time.
Duration:18 minutes, 2 seconds

      <description><![CDATA[The podcast is a little over 12 Mb, under an hour. I go over some of the topics on the blog, but decided to depart from the format for the second half. I talk about tostadas, being migrant, and how my family wound up living in Mission. As soon as the primaries are over, I will be able to go back to what RGV Life originally covered.
