Lg ✨Glück✨

PS: Ich habe diesen Podcast noch nie gehört 😅

I loved how this podcast weaved history, both collective and personal, through the life and music of Juanga. I found it to be unique, multifaceted, and deeply moving, esp about Mexican and queer culture.

Like her Selena podcast, Maria have light to a cultural icon deep in our Mexican roots. Love the story telling. Thank you for sharing your story and vulnerability.

I’m so glad to see Apple putting out audio like this - tender, well written, honest and personal. I’m getting so tired of relentless true crime. This was a refreshing listen about an icon I knew little about, and also of the impact artists have on those their work touches. The host has a stunning voice, and feels accessible and intimate. Bravo to the team, and to whoever took a chance on this story at Apple. More like this please!!

I’m not sure why folks don’t read the about section. This is a podcast about going back to your roots with Juanga as a guide. This is a moving, personal, creative, and inspiring podcast. There are very few podcasts that are personal, artistic, and educational, this one is all 3.

Literal definition of cringe

I was excited to listen to learn about the life and story of Juan Gabriel, an iconic Mexican singer. While the podcaster’s voice and storytelling are engaging, I felt the focus shifted too much to her own life and experiences, particularly her journey as a queer Latinx person. While those stories are valid and interesting in their own right, the balance between her personal narrative and Juan Gabriel’s story wasn’t quite right for me.

I tuned in to hear about Juan Gabriel, but instead, it felt ... more

A podcast better than most biographies I’ve seen. I only disagreed with one thing and felt like Maria was too hard on herself and others. If people want to speak Spanish in the US, that’s fine. If people want to speak English in Mexico. That’s fine too. Languages are hard. People shouldn’t be hard on themselves or others.

I grew up with the magnificent Juan Gabriel. His contribution to Latino culture (if there is such a thing) is incalculable. My grandmother’s favorite song was Amor Eternal. We played it at her funeral. Mine is Asi Fun. I love the way Maria weaves her own story and the story of Juan Gabriel together. I too am queer. Thanks to this podcast I appreciate Juan Gabriel more than ever. This is a beautiful podcast. I enjoyed it immensely.

I do wish she had not referred to Juan Gabriel as "Jua... more

Overly dramatic and scandalizing about things that could be told more directly. I like the interweaving of narratives - but my god, how many times do you have to do a build up the story by saying this toootally changes the way we see something?

I shared this series with friends and family. As a child of a Mexican immigrant not raised close to extended family and near Mexican culture, I missed out on learning about many things. But thankfully I was able to grow up listening to Juan Gabriel because of my mom. I loved learning about his life, growing in understanding and connection to the culture.

I absolutely loved this podcast. I listened to it because Juanga was a big part of my upbringing and my adult life. What I got out of this podcast was so much more than just learning about his life but how meaningful his life was/is to so many Latines. It touches on culture, identity, belonging, classism, assimilation, humanity. I cried multiple times throughout and also laughed and smiled throughout. I found it healing in an unexpected way. So grateful I stumbled across this podcast

Not much on Juan Gabriel lots about the podcaster. A bit too self-indulgent IMO. The Junaga info was good but was basically just sprinkled in.

This podcast program was not necessary. It was neat to take in JuanGa’s lore. But that experience was relatively short and anecdotes were few in between the story of the actual subject, the podcaster. The show description doesn’t hide the ball. But listening to an ad about this show on another, and being invited to listen to a podcast about the life of JuanGa only to be saturated with the experiences of a random literary professional who is in denial about being in the closet and elongates every... more
