About this episode

Moni and Kat discuss their differing views on 'The House on Mango Street' by Sandra Cisneros, exploring themes of voice and identity.

This week, the hosts dive into The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and for once, they don’t see eye to eye. In a rare twist, one host connected with the book while the other didn’t, not because of the story itself, but because of its unique vignette-style format. Even with that divide, the conversation proves why this modern classic continues to resonate, sparking thoughtful discussion around voice, identity, and storytelling. You’ll have to tune in to find out who was on which side. Cheers!! *Please be advised this episode is intended for adult audiences and contains adult language and content.
