  • A podcast that makes Latinas feel seen

    The podcast I didn’t know I desperately needed. Alicia creates a space where Latinas can feel fully seen, not just for our successes, but for the messy, complicated, in-between moments that shape who we become. Every episode feels like a masterclass in identity, ambition, and resilience, with conversations that are honest, warm, and deeply affirming.

  • Neoliberal propaganda

    The latest episode of a former Trump official who will be voting for Holocaust Harris is a perfect example of the absolute abysmal state of Latinx media. No critical thinking, just Trump bad, Harris good. Harris, who has vowed to continue to build Trump’s border wall, Harris of the Biden-Harris administration who continues to imprison immigrants, Harris who has abandoned DACA and Dreamers to appeal to the right.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Remix: How Aimee Garcia Took Charge of Her Hollywood Career
Q: How do you handle the balance between acting and producing, and what did you learn about the industry that helped you push forward?
I learned to say yes to opportunities while managing ego, and to understand that producing lets you influence the broader creative process, not just perform on screen; persistence and willingness to take risks are essential.
Remix: How Aimee Garcia Took Charge of Her Hollywood Career
Q: What was the first thing you did once you and AJ decided that you wanted to start a production company?
We focused on content and IP—getting rights to articles or developing original scripts—and both of us wrote our own scripts to demonstrate our voice, which helped us secure a showrunner for a pilot and move toward forming Scrappy Heart.
Remix: How Aimee Garcia Took Charge of Her Hollywood Career
Q: So take me back to the moment where you decided you wanted to have your own production company.
The decision grew out of organic collaboration with AJ Mendez while working on Glow; after pitching and developing ideas like a more central role for a Mexican character in related projects, we realized creating original material and running our own company would let us shape stories rather than be limited by someone else's adaptation.
Top 5: How Rolling Stone’s Suzy Exposito Made History with Her Bad Bunny Cover Story

Top 5: How Rolling Stone’s Suzy Exposito Made History with Her Bad Bunny Cover Story
