About this listen

 Comedian Felipe Esparza talks with random people he finds interesting. It might be somebody kind of famous or it might be that homeless guy at the end of your street who you walk past every day without saying hello. Because everyone has a story to tell about how they got where they are - no matter who they are.Copyright FELIPE ESPARZA Social Sciences
