A tip for this Friday? Tune into Killer Frequency on August 8th at 1pm AST for a deep dive into Jennifer Givhan’s Salt Bones, myth, mystery, and a killer setlist to carry you through the weekend.

Hello hunters,

Some of you have been joining the live complement to Killer Instinct, called Killer Frequency, on Fridays at 1 pm AST. Every Friday at 1pm AST, I host a live Internet radio show, Killer Frequency, from the Caribbean’s premier art institute. Subscribers receive an email reminder with all the necessary information to join, along with additional resources to enhance their experience. Paid subscribers gain access to select live sessions that I publish as recordings, so if you’re unable to attend, you won’t miss out. If you’ve enjoyed my content on Killer Instinct, consider joining us on Fridays!

This Friday, August 8th, I dive into Salt Bones by Jennifer Givhan—a recently released Latinx Indigenous mythological mystery set in the Mexicali borderlands. I’ll be sharing some of my research and unpacking the book’s major themes and motifs—all spoiler-free. Whether you’ve already read it, just started, or are curious about adding it to your shelf, this live is for you.

In preparation, today I’m deep in research on El Cuycuy and La Siguanaba—two powerful folkloric figures that will be major talking points on Friday.

If you’d like to support my work, consider subscribing, upgrading your subscription, liking, commenting, sharing the show, or simply spreading the word. I’ll also be opening up a tip jar for Kitty, your killer radio DJ—so if you hear something you love (a song, a spark, a bookshelf recommendation), you can tip directly through my downpayment campaign.

Mark your calendars. Pull up. Put me on in the background. And let me take you to the cutting edge.
