That is the only I have listened to but it was well done, an entertaining insightful look at trends in Mexican television and it answered some questions I have been wondering for a while regarding portrayal of race and social class in Mexican media. The media landscape there seems to be slowly improving, good news.

This is a terrific listen. Nita does a wonderful job revealing Mexico through personal stories. Very compelling, insightful, and very well done. Definitely worth your time!
Nita’s voice is magnetic and her use of storytelling through interviews with Mexicans is enriching and poignant. A really interesting listen with the added benefit of being a superbly produced podcast.
Hi Nita and Kiran,
Very commendable job of interviewing several personalities and artists in Mexico for telenovela. Even though I don't have much knowledge of that part of the world, I understand there is lot of effort put by you. Your Spanish pronounciation is very good as good as your English. My Spanish is very limited to Harold Robbins novels. The background spanish music is very good to hear. Of course touching socially senstive subject of some people's private lives is also a bold attempt... more
Very well presented Nita. When I read about Asylum seekers sent back to the country of origin never thought about the alienation aspect on their return.
The ground reality of COVID in developing countries was gripping as well.
There are many sides to a story and some sides are considered not worthy for media attention.
Thanks for bringing these sides to our awareness and exploration.
Please stay safe and look forward to your other podcasts.
I do not know anything about Mexico but in know now even though in 20th century 40% Mexicans do not have internet. It is interesting pad cast. I look forward to hear more. I love it Mexico language.
Thank

Fascinating, I thought this would be just a light hearted listen but it was so much more then that, gave a real insight to the society in Mexico and addressed some impactful changes occurring and how you can see it through the tv screen
Interesting to hear other people’s stories and how they connect with Mexico. I look forward to hearing more!
I’m new to this podcast and as a fellow Aussie living in Mexico, I’m really impressed with Nita’s vision to bring more understanding about life in Mexico. It’s a completely different experience when you’re emerged into the culture and get to hear the stories from locals. This is a beautiful insight into some of the “real lives” of Mexico.
Great storytelling. Topics are relevant and realistic. Looking forward to more episodes!
Found this podcast on facebook, and decided to give it a listen. I’ve spent several months living in Mexico every year for the last four years. Nita has an excellent format and is very engaging!
Brilliant. Kudos to Kiran, Nita and the entire team.
Hi Nita and Kiran - I never thought you guys can better episode 1. But guess what, episode 2 is even better, albeit marginally, than episode 1 and that’s saying a lot! Very illuminating about the plight of undocumented Mexicans. Certainly, touching. Take care and stay safe.
Such a beautiful series. I love the narrative flow, how it represents both sides of the story and shares beautiful and underrepresented stories in a delicate, intelligent and kind manner. Bravo. Subscribed, following and ready for more!
Engaging, thoroughly researched and Nita’s calming voice! Ready for the next episode!
