1. ¿Quién nos representa?
2/03/2026 | 39 mins.
A horas de que llegara el rey de España a Puerto Rico en enero de 2022, el país se despertó con una sorpresa: la estatua de Juan Ponce de León en el Viejo San Juan estaba tirada en el piso. Ese día, el pasado y presente colonial de Puerto Rico se entrelazaron de manera evidente, y muchos se preguntaron: ¿quién se merece estar en un pedestal?, ¿quién representa la puertorriqueñidad?, ¿quiénes son nuestras campeonas y campeones?

Esta temporada, conoceremos más sobre Puerto Rico a través de personas y símbolos, y nos preguntaremos qué hace falta para ser una campeona o campeón de Puerto Rico.

1. Who represents us?
2/03/2026 | 36 mins.
It was January 24, 2022. The King of Spain was coming to Puerto Rico. But everyone woke up to some unexpected news: the statue of the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León in Old San Juan had been toppled. When the mayor promised to restore it that same day, it raised big questions: Who deserves to be put up on a pedestal? Who represents Puerto Ricanness? Who are our champions? This season, we’re going to learn about Puerto Rico through the people who represent us. And we’ll ask: what does it take to champion Puerto Rico?
