This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Ancestry.com’s new Ancestry Mexico, about the actors and actresses we love, and a spotlight on adoption in the US as part of a look at National Adoption Awareness Month.

Ancestry.com recently added 220 million searchable historical records from Mexico, including birth, marriage and death records. These records date back to the 1500s. In addition, they launched Ancestry Mexico, a Spanish-language interface for those who want to use their tools to search their family histories.

We are joined by our friend Leticia Manzano for an entertaining conversation about the actors and actresses we love, both for the “babe factor” and their acting. Among those we discuss are Denzel Washington, Matthew McConaughey, Shamar Moore, Jennifer Lopez, Merryl Streep, and Julia Roberts.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about Twitter’s new “buy” button; we have an interview with Leticia Manzano from the Houston Area Women’s Center about Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and we reminisce on ghost stories in celebration of Halloween.

In the In Case You Missed it Segment (ICYMI) we talk about changes in LinkedIn, with LinkedIn Groups becoming private. And … did you hear the story about the drunk driver who was Periscoping herself and gots arrested? Her viewers called the police on her. You can find the complete story on CNN, after you listen to the show.

Twitter has rolled out their “Buy” button, making it possible to purchase from select ecommerce providers without ever leaving Twitter. What does this mean for us as conspicuous consumers, and for business owners? You can read more about this new feature in the Twitter announcement, or find out how to implement this for your business.

This week on The Little Radio Show we talk about how Periscope has helped us in our everyday lives and take a look at the opening of the Goosebumps movie. We also have an interview with Ramon Santillan, who talks about the importance of body language in interviews and with Federico Valiente, who tells us about the current expansion of Pollo Campero in the US.

Our friend Leticia Manzano also joins us to talk about Periscope.

Chances are you’ve at least heard of Periscope by now. It’s one of the latest and hottest new social media networks… where you can go live or watch a livestream from the palm of your hand, basically anywhere. It’s a brave new world! Find us on Periscope too: (Juan @juanofwords; Anjelica @la_anjel; Sandra @sandrasays; Letty @mexicanwoman)

RamonSantillanRamon Santillan firmly believes every interview can be a great interview. He’s a coach, if you will, on how to nail a great interview every time. Ramon walks us through what it takes to be the job candidate every employer will be impressed with and will want to hire. And BONUS: here’s the link to the special offer Ramon mentions on the show: persuasiveinterview.com/thelittleradioshow.

Goosebumps. The movie! Have you watched it yet? This new remake of the classic film series includes Jack Black as R.L. Stine. We’ll tell you why it’s definitely worth considering for a family movie night.

Finally, if you’re a fan of Latin American cuisine, you’ll love our conversation with Federico Valiente of Pollo Campero. The global chain with over 300 locations across the world, is opening a handful of new stores in Texas too.
