We're Finalists! Vote For Us!

In this episode, Diosa and Mala reflect on what it means to be critiqued in real time. They've been sitting with a recent critique in a new publication, Radiophonic Feminisms: Latina Voices in the Digital Age of Broadcasting by Ester Díaz Martín. Díaz Martin began her research in 2018, when they were still independent podcasters. Years later, her book was published, and it credits las Locatoras as the creators of “radiophonic." 
 
There's a clear shift from an affirmative analysis of the early podcast days to a more complicated critique of growth inside a corporate structure. She points out how their femme sound, feminist ideas, and dynamic shaped early episodes, and how later production process “complicates the feminist praxis.” 
 
In this episode, they hold space for expansiveness and evolution to art. How do all of us navigate growth without losing our core values? And how do we balance the nuance of creating within capitalism?
