My Cultura


Locatora Radio is a weekly podcast dedicated to archiving the present and shifting the culture forward. Hosted by Mala Muñoz and Diosa Femme, two IG friends turned podcast partners. They break down pop culture, current events, and feminism through nuanced interviews with Latinx creatives and artists. Founded in 2016, Locatora Radio was podcasting independently until joining iHeartRadio's My Cultura Podcast Network in 2022. 


Locatora Radio [A Radiophonic Novela]

This week, Diosa and Mala discuss Latino representation in media, sparked by backlash over white actress Odessa A'zion being cast as a Latina character in an upcoming A24 film. Together, they review a study conducted by USC's Norman Lear Center, which highlights that Latino-led/Latino-created shows offer a more nuanced representation of Latinidad. (OBVIO!!) They also consider how digital media has lowered the barrier to entry for Latino/Latine talent. Will AI also lower the barrier to entry or is there another risk for bias? 
 
Please note this episode was recorded in early March. And there's some loud background noise at times, sorry!
