Listener Shoutout: Hagåtña Guam. It is the capital city of Guam and in the Chomorro language it means something like our blood. The entire island was handed from one empire, the spanish, to another empire, the americans in 1898. And if I am lucky enough to visit this island paradise, I would love to go visit the Chamorro village and just listen to folks talk. And so to my listener in Hagatna, I say in Chamorro si Yu'os ma'ase and Buenas Noches, thank you and goodnight
