| Pt.3 | Of and for the Gods (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen Masks in Mexican culture have been important since Precolombian times.

| Pt.4 | The Reign of Spain (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen When the Spanish came to the Americas they played off the indigenous tradition of masked dramas.

| Pt.5 | Parachicos Masked Drama (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen Masked dance dramas continue to be important elements of holiday celebrations in Mexico. Many versions exist of the story behind the Dance of the Parachicos.

| Pt.6 | Viejitos Masked Drama (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen The Dance of the Viejitos is loved for the humor and range of emotions that are expressed.

Gayle Castañeda of the Castañeda Museum of Ethnic Costume shares the story. |
| Pt.7 | Negritos Masked Drama (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen The Negrito masks of Uruapan, Michoacan are very distinctive and good examples of fine craftsmanship and artistry.

| Pt.8 | Día de los Muertos (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen In Mexico, death is commemorated on Día de los Muertos, at the start of November. Rather than a somber occasion, it is a time to celebrate life. The masks help you enter in the mood of celebration. Dr. Lydia Otero of the University of Arizona shares her insights. |
| Pt.9 | Lucha Libre (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen Lucha Libre fighters are pop culture icons in Mexico today. In the wrestling ring, they enact the age-old drama of good vs. evil.

| Pt.10 | Northwest Mexico (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen Masks are a part of secular and holy ceremonies and celebrations in Yoeme (Yaqui), Mayo and Tarahumara cultures of northern Mexico and southern Arizona. Among these communities there are variations in how the masks are decorated and the attitudes held about them. For some, certain masks are holy and will be burned after the ceremonies they are a part of; for others, some masks can be sold to outsiders. Yaqui educator and cultural specialist Felipe Molina shares his intimate knowledge of Yaqui masks traditions. ASM store manager Martin Kim talks about the difference between Yoeme and Mayo masks made in Sonora, Mexico, and the difference between those and the ones made in the Yaqui villages in Tucson, Arizona, USA. |

| Pt.12 | The Essence of a Mask (enhanced) ~ Save & Listen For those interested in collecting masks there are many elements to consider. Masks in Mexico are created for different reasons: as folk art, as components of religious ceremonies or traditional celebrations, as talismans... The story behind the mask may be the most valuable thing about it. ASM store manager Martin Kim shares his knowledge and understanding of collecting traditional art forms. |
