From School Proposal to State Senate: The Journey of New Mexico's Green Chile Aroma from a Las Cruces classroom to the Santa Fe Roundhouse

the Enchantment Chronicles

Step into a tantalizing world of heated debates, spicy aromas, and fifth graders taking on legislative powerhouses in an exciting episode of New Mex Podcast. We're serving up a dose of New Mexico's beloved green chile, not on your plate, but as a potential state symbol - its aroma. You'll get a whiff of the recent legislative proposal by a zealous fifth-grade class from Monte Vista Elementary, who pushed to make the smell of roasting green chile the official state aroma, overpowering other strong stenches such as oil and dairy farms. Join us as we unravel the intricate debate between Senators Bill Soles and Daniel Ivy Soto, who spar over the merits of this piquant suggestion. Get ready to feast your ears on the tale of two state vegetables, one being the star of this controversy and the other, the humble pinto bean, who didn't come looking for trouble.
In the second half of our show, we're thrilled to share some big news - we're taking the spirit of New Mexico online with the launch of our new website, Enchantment Chronicles!
