Jeff Garcia and I covered Hispanic Heritage month in late September with a fewposts. In a post titled "Blazing New Trails", I talked about the NBA marketing to all of the subcultures and country's that make up the Hispanic culture and using the one thing that strings them all together, Spanish, the language they all share.
That got us to thinking that we are leaving a lot of people out in the cold by doing the Spurscast in English only. While, I'm not conversationally fluent in Spanish, luckily Jeff is. While he won't do the entire Spurscast in Spanish, he will now be doing a separate segment of the Spurscast just in Spanish. He'll be recapping the week and talking about upcoming games. We'll also be sure to put it in our Spurscast feed by itself in addition to having it as part of the regular Spurscast episode every week.
As you listen to the first Spanish Spurscast segment, keep in mind that this is still a work in progress.
haha jeff's spanish cracks me up. he needs to learn to speak like an argentine and not an american

Jeff - just wanted to say I think that's a great idea, and I'm sure it would also be welcome by international fans from Spanish-speaking countries like Argentina, Spain and other South American countries. You guys are doing an amazing job.
