A Tribute To Dolly Parton

This week on Locatora Radio, Diosa sits down with podcast creator and executive editor, Maria Garcia, to unpack the Spicy Latina trope, it's origins, and the complicated reasons we sometimes identify with these characters. Think: Salma Hayek in Fool's Rush-In.

Together, they get into some pop culture moments like why the media owes Britney Spears an apology, how JLO sorta pushed back on the spicy Latina trope, and the evolution of said trope.

Who Gets To Be "American"? Pachucos, Zoot Suits, & The Riots | Capítulo 275

In the last few years a suffix took over the internet: "-maxxing"! First it was "looksmaxxing", then as all trends do, it multiplied! From fiber-maxxing, protein-maxxing, to beauty-maxxing, there's always room for self-improvement according to your algorithm. In this episode, Diosa and Mala dig into the internet origins of "-maxxing", how it jumped from niche forums into the mainstream, and why a simple suffix became apart of the cultural zeitgeist. Las Locatoras ask what this trend says about the current societal moment, self-improvement, and performance in late stage capitalism. Diosa and Mala also share how they're -maxxing their own lives.
