In 2008, the magazine delved into the music of lyricist, musician and producer pc muñoz, who produced "Strange Toys" for cellist Joan Jeanrenaud's. In 2008, Jeanrenaud was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Instrumental Soloist Performance (without orchestra) category in 2008. In its "Off the Plate" section, Astute features sports thought about teams such as the Oakland Raiders. In 2009, Michael Leon Guerrero, a sports writer and community organizer whose work has appeared in social-justice publications such as Yes! magazine wrote an opinion piece about the similarities between Raider Nation and Obama supporters.
