Locatora Radio [A Radiophonic Novela]

This week, Locatora's makeup artist & Diosa's longtime friend, Roberto Rios, joins the show as a guest host! They go way back: to his personal relationship with Diosa, his journey with Locatora over the years, and what it's really like behind the scenes of the photo shoots and events. They also talk beauty trends, the "clean girl" look, and when to splurge on a beauty product.

The Power Of Girl Talk | Capítulo 276

This week Diosa and Mala dig into Chicano history and American history: Luis Valdez's groundbreaking play and film Zoot Suit, the 1943 Zoot Suit Riots, and the question at the center: who gets to call themselves American?
 
Together, they trace the Zoot Suit from a cross-cultural fashion statement into a symbol that made Mexican American youth targets of state and mob violence during World War II, and why that's so resonant today.

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.

World Cup 2026: Fits, Fans & the Fight for Access | Capítulo 273

This week, Diosa and Mala welcome Becca Ramos to discuss her experience as a Puerto Rican in Texas, far from the diaspora cities most people associate Boricuas with. Becca is a producer on the popular podcast, Las Culturistas, but she's stepping in front of the mic with her new podcast, Welcome to El Barrio, the show she wishes she had as a kid. She talks about her conscious commitment to learning Spanish as an adult, how that's shaped (and complicated) her relationship to her own identity, and how she's championing the stories of Boricuas both on the island and in the diaspora.

Ni de Aquí ni de Allá: Becca Ramos on the Puerto Rican Diaspora | Capítulo 272

This week, Diosa and Mala discuss some of the films that made them feel seen, represented, or upon rewatching can now be considered queer film cannon. They dive into explicitly queer films, like "But I'm A Cheerleader", "Quinceañera", and "Mosquita y Mari" and more subtle queer films like "Mulan" and "Y Tú Mamá También." Diosa reveals the bisexual blues she feels each Pride season and Mala offers a fun solution.

How Corissa Hernandez Hustles With Heart | Capítulo 270

What does it signify when Latino/Latinx artists perform on a global stage? And is representation and visibility ever enough? This episode digs into one performance that dominated cultural conversation this past spring: Colombian pop star, Karol G, was the first Latina to headline Coachella, but her set came with a mix of celebration and critique.
 
This week Diosa and Mala dig into the cost of visibility for Latino/Latinx artists. Do these artists owe us political activism? And what does it signify when they don't meet that need? Tune in to find out!
