A new edition of Bienvenidos magazine is now available, and this year’s theme pays homage to Route 66, the beloved highway that has connected travelers and towns near and far for a century.  

To discuss the magazine’s release, Ashley M. Biggers, magazines editor at the Santa Fe New Mexican, joins host Inez Russell Gomez on the latest podcast episode of “Conversations Different.”  

Biggers shares her editorial process of putting the new edition together and talks about the people and places featured along the historic route in New Mexico. Among the subjects profiled are Miss New Mexico USA Dominique Ehrl, Meow Wolf and Santa Fe’s Margarita Trail.  

In the episode, Biggers also previews what readers can expect in Legacy and International Folk Art Market magazines ahead of their summertime release. The magazines serve as guides to Santa Fe's Native and Spanish arts scene that is put on full display during the International Folk Art Market and SWAIA’s Indian Market.
