Welcome to The Morning Drop, mitú's first audio-only podcast: your three-times-a-week group chat with the team about everything you need to know before you log in.
Put it on with your coffee. Play it on your commute. We're showing up so you stay pilas.
In this first episode, Alejo makes the case that Cape Verde's goalkeeper, a bus driver and electrician, may be the most inspiring player at this World Cup. Yamily breaks down the earthquakes in Venezuela: what the numbers mean, who is showing up, and what recovery actually looks like. Jean mourns the end of physical PlayStation discs and shares the story of his mom turning one into a centro de mesa for a quinceañera. Gustavo untangles the Folarin Balogun red card, Trump's call to FIFA, and the thread running through it all: birthright citizenship. And Jenny closes with the video that has everyone arguing about grief: a Peruvian widow who perreó on her husband's coffin, and the very real question of what it means to grieve out loud.
