Podcast: Download
Neil Hohmann is an unlikely deejay. An American pharmacist living in Poland, Neil is the creator and producer of Ritmo Latino, a popular latin music podcast. He started it three years ago on a public radio station while living in Micronesia in the western Pacific Ocean. Today he lives a world away in Poland but thanks to iTunes, listeners around the world can enjoy his hourlong program featuring latino music.
In Part 1 of a two-part episode about Ritmo Latino, Neil talks about the origins of the show, how he selects the music he podcasts and why latino music isn’t just salsa and merengue. Click on the Voices en Español podcast page for details about the music featured in this podcast.
¡Esto es vida! Neil hard at work 
somewhere in the western Pacific.

Thanks, Laura! It was a lot of fun. I can totally see now why Neil enjoys doing a music podcast. Finding and selecting songs to play is quite enjoyable!
