EMMMM (Moderately Middle Class Mexicans in the Mission) & J's Days

In the heart of San Francisco's Mission District, a father and daughter navigate their days with humor and curiosity. EMMMM (Moderately Middle Class Mexicans in the Mission) & J's Days is a candid audio diary hosted by seventh-grader Emily and her dad, Jaime Alvarez. This isn't a polished interview show; it's the real, meandering conversations that happen over breakfast or during a walk, captured for anyone who enjoys the unique perspective of a kid and an adult figuring things out together. They delve into the texture of their neighborhood, discussing everything from the best local burrito to how pop culture from a specific year, like 2020, shapes their view of the world. The charm of this podcast lies in its authenticity-you’re listening in on a family’s genuine dynamic, where topics bounce from school projects and family lore to bigger questions about life, all filtered through their shared Mexican-American experience. It’s a slice of everyday life, offering a warm, often funny, and quietly insightful look at growing up and parenting within a specific cultural and geographic context. You'll hear Emily's thoughtful takes and Jaime's patient reflections, making each episode a small, personal story about connection.
